Updated parking arrangements – 1 July
June 27, 2019
As you are aware, work has been on going to ensure arrangements are in place for alternative parking arrangements to offset the loss of parking capacity while the development of the new health centre and multi storey car parks (MSCP) are built at Sandwell and City.
The health centre development is due to start in the summer, which means the new arrangements for parking at Sandwell will come into place from 1 July.
Changes at Sandwell Hospital:
- Please note that the Little Lane car park opposite Sandwell A&E (All Saints Way car park) will be re-allocated to patient and visitor parking from Saturday 29 June. Staff passes will only work on this car park out of hours from this date (6pm to 6am).
- Colleagues who are transferring to New Square from 1 July, passes will be available for collection today (Thursday 27 June) in the ground floor foyer of Trinity House from 11.30am – 2:30pm
- The Occasional User car park scheme will be closed to new applications and top ups after 28 June, however existing credits can still be used until 31
- The Pay As You Park scheme goes live from 1 July. Applications for this permit can be made at Sandwell Main Reception and BTC Reception at City after 1 July. Pay As You Park will be £3 per day and there will be no maximum usage limits.
- Annual travel passes (bus/train/metro) are available to staff with a standard discount of 5 per cent. A limited number of National Express products are available with a 50 per cent discount for the first year for staff willing to give up their car parking permit. Please contact audrey.hender@nhs.net.
