SAVE OUR OFF SITE CAR PARK FOR NHS STAFF!
The current car park opposite Thales Optronics, Linthouse Road is due to close in a few weeks. Please continue to provide off site car parking for 580+ NHS staff who already utilise this facility.
Why is this important?
Public transport is not reliable when staff work shifts as bus timetables are reduced and some staff are having to rely on buses and trains which can add up to 2 hours if not more on to an already busy working day when in some instances a car journey is only 30 minutes for the same destination. Staff are already under pressure to arrive at work on time without having to try and find a parking space. All we ask is that Greater Glasgow and Clyde NHS continue to provide an off site car park for their staff to allow staff to travel to work in the knowledge they will be able to park their car safely and will have a parking space. The staff who already use the current off site car park are happy to walk the 10/15 minutes from the car park to the hospital and would be happy to continue to do this.
