Hospital Parking
Enshrine in law that all new hospitals, and large extensions to those that already exist, be built with underground parking
Why is this important?
Many European countries, with more space than the UK, build parking under squares, hospitals and public buildings, while we do not - preferring to take up valuable space with multi-storey monstrosities.
Huge centralised hospitals, with large catchment areas, are becoming the norm, necessitating the use of private transport for a great many, yet there is never enough parking for day patients, staff and visitors.
