Free Hospital Car Parking

I’ve been visiting my friend in Addenbrooke’s a lot and the car parking is expensive.  But at least I have a space to put my car.  Even if sometime the charges are a bit weird.  For instance, each visit on a Sunday costs three pounds no matter how long you stay!  But if I have two short visit on a weekday, they are only £1.80.

Apparently, now in Scotland, the policy of free car parking is causing problems, as everybody drives and there is no money for more car parks.

I think years ago, when the parking was free at Addenbrooke’s people used to use the hospital car parks there and then go into town.  So it may be a good idea to have free hospital car parking, but it is one of these things that people will abuse.
