Executive Summary
1.1
This Vehicle Parking Policy is being introduced trust-wide to allow improved
management of current vehicle parking capacity and better enforcement of parking
regulations and restrictions. In addition, it aims to reduce and manage the demand for car
parking, by allocating parking space based on greatest need. This will involve restricting the
issue of staff parking permits using criteria based on need.
1.2
The general principles of this Vehicle Parking Policy are:
Parking is a privilege, not an automatic right
The parking system will be operated on a needs basis as the main priority, to
give those with greatest need a better chance of obtaining a parking space.
Scarce parking resources will be allocated more equitably, efficiently and
effectively.
Effective operation of Trust sites and improving congestion on sites needs to
be ensured.
The Vehicle Parking Policy will cover all types of parking user on the hospital
sites
1.3
The key aspects within this policy are:
1.3.1 All staff will be required to re-apply for a new permit to park their cars on Hospital
sites.
1.3.2 The application will be based on the following criteria, which are listed in no particular
priority order:
distance from home to work,
hours of work,
the need to use a car on hospital business,
public transport alternatives,
any caring responsibilities.
1.3.3 Staff will no longer be automatically entitled to a parking permit and a number of staff
will lose their right to park on hospital sites with a permit. In future, a still to be determined
number of staff at each hospital site will no longer have a parking permit or be entitled to
park their cars on site, unless paying visitor rates. It will also alter the basis upon which
priority parking is currently allocated.
1.4
The policy seeks to improve parking management and space utilisation
1.4.1 The policy allows the creation of parking areas for specific types of user. This will
entail creating drop off zones, with a maximum waiting time of 15 minutes, to allow those
with greatest need to drop off near important hospital destinations and also increase the
number of parking spaces available to patients and visitors, making these spaces closer to
the hospital buildings and key destinations than the majority of daytime staff parking. Better
parking management will enable this specific parking provision to be relaxed at night times,
when staff safety and security become issues of greater importance.
1.5
The policy will strengthen enforcement of parking policy
1.5.1 The policy creates a process to allow the issue of penalty charge notices for parking
infringements on an escalating scale, based on the number of previous offences. These
penalty charge notices will be applicable to all types of parking user. The policy also details
appeal and recovery processes for these fines. In short, incorrectly or badly parked vehicles
will now be subject to penalty fines. This will be implemented on a gradual phased basis, in
conjunction with measures 1 and 2 detailed above.
1.5.2 The Vehicle Parking Policy seeks to provide resolutions to some of the parking
problems and issues that have developed on Trust hospital sites in the preceding years. It
will form a key element within the Trusts global Travel and Access Strategy solution and
needs to be implemented in conjunction with a range of measures designed to encourage
the use of alternative travel choices to individual car use, contained within site specific travel
plans.
Introduction
2.1
The Vehicle Parking Policy has been developed in response to:
Concerns from both staff and patients about the problems of site and traffic
congestion, parking difficulties and parking allocation.
Local and national policies aimed at reducing the adverse impact of travel and
transport on the environment.
Pressure from the local community and local authorities for the Trust to
effectively manage car parking arrangements on site.

Aims
3.1
The aims of the Vehicle Parking Policy are to ensure that the hospital on-site vehicle
parking is managed effectively, efficiently and equitably. This policy, in conjunction with site
specific travel plans, will form a key part of the delivery of the six objectives outlined in the
Pennine Acute Hospitals Trust Travel and Access Strategy.
3.2
Monitoring Compliance
3.2.1 As the Vehicle Parking Policy is to be introduced on a gradual, phased basis; an

audit based upon guidance and criteria contained within the trusts Policy on Controlled
Documents (Ref: EDQ001), will be carried out either 6 months after issue and introduction
of the policy, or at least 2 months prior to the review date of this document.
Scope of the Policy

managed by the Trust. Motorcycles and bicycles are not subject to this policy. This policy
sets out the arrangements for controlling vehicle parking and includes the following:
Staff and visitor parking allocation.
The regulations applying to patients and visitors car parking charges.
The eligibility criteria for staff parking permits.
Car parking management and enforcement.
Parking Area Allocations
5.1
To meet the Trusts core value: Patient care is at the centre of everything we do.
Car parking nearest to main entrances and key services and destinations for patients and
visitors will, where practicable, be allocated to patient/ visitor parking only. Drop-off areas will
also be provided at marked key locations on each site, which will allow short stay waiting for
a maximum of 15 minutes.
5.2
The following colour and shape codes will be used to identify who may use each
parking area.
Green, circle symbol, patient and visitor, only.
Patient & Visitor Parking
Aqua Green, oval symbol, general. (General parking areas for patients, visitors
and staff.)
General Parking
Blue, square symbol, Blue Badge holder parking, only.

Priority Parking
Patient and Visitor Only Parking
6.1
Green (Circle symbol) parking areas are designated for use by patients and visitors
only. Parking will be charged as further detailed in Section 11 of this policy and in Car
Parking Charge Information. In these areas there may be designated parking for Blue Badge
holders, (permits for people with disabilities). In addition, there may be some parent/carer
with child parking spaces, these will be clearly marked.
6.2
Unauthorised users of such designated spaces will be penalised for unauthorised
parking and subject to the Trusts parking enforcement policy, as detailed in Sections 14 to

due to reason of access, egress, safety and security. Vehicles should only park within
correctly designated parking areas
10.2 Parking in areas not specifically designated as a parking area, such as access roads,
grass verges, footpaths etc. will be penalised as unauthorised parking and subject to the
Trusts Parking Enforcement Policy, as detailed in Sections 14 to 20 of this policy.
10.3 Other areas will be identified, either by signage or road markings clearly indicating
parking is not permitted and or by the use of double red or yellow lines at the kerbside of the
carriageway, yellow, red or white hatched areas, solid yellow, white or red lines. Any
vehicle found parked in these such areas will be penalised for unauthorised parking and
subject to the Trusts Parking Enforcement Policy, as detailed in Sections 14 to 20 of this
policy.
10.4 In addition to these, parking areas may exist where only certain types of vehicle,
such as ambulances, buses or delivery vehicles, may be allowed to park/wait. Such
locations will have signage or road markings to indicate this in addition to the possible use of
double red or yellow lines at the kerbside of the carriageway, yellow, red or white hatched
areas, solid yellow, white or red lines. Any vehicle found parked not meeting the specific
requirements detailed for the area will be penalised for unauthorised parking and subject to
the Trusts Parking Enforcement Policy, as detailed in Sections 14 to 20 of this policy.
11
Patient and Visitor Car Parking Charges
11.1 The Trust will operate a range of car parking management methods at each site,
appropriate to the geographical layout of the site. The payment methods will be clearly
signed in each car parking area.
11.2 Details of the specific charges for parking on Pennine Acute Hospital Trust sites are
contained within the Car Parking Charge Information document, which is separate to this
policy.
11.3 Patient and visitor information will include the current car parking charges and the
requirements for any correct change when using the car park.
11.4 Patients and visitors who attend the hospital on a frequent basis may be entitled to
discounts on parking charges. Further information on these discounts will be made available
within parking and travel information, or can be obtained by contacting the relevant parking
contact for the hospital. Staff at the Trust should try to inform patients of potential discounts
and the parking contact details when planning long-term treatment and also inform visitors to
longer stay patients, patients in critical care and parents of children who are patients of this
option. The parking contacts at each hospital site are detailed in Section 22 Appendix 11.
11.5 Patients (but not visitors) who receive certain benefits may be able to claim
reimbursement of some travel costs. This scheme is known as the Hospital Travel Costs
Scheme. For further details on this scheme, please contact the relevant hospital General
Office.
11.6 Refunds will be made from the General Office at each hospital site, on presentation
of a travel claim form and benefit form.
12
Staff Parking Permits
12.1 Parking at all Trust sites is very limited. In order for the Trust to meet its core values
and travel and access strategy objectives, it is essential that patients and visitors are able
to access the hospital site. Therefore, it will be necessary to allocate staff parking permits on
a basis of need and parking capacity availability.
12.2
Permit types
12.2.1 Only staff with a current valid fully paid for car parking permit will be entitled to park
at Trust sites in areas designated for staff parking. Staff parking permits do not cover any
member of staff parking in designated patient and visitor car parking areas.
12.2.2 Staff parking permits do not guarantee a parking space on any hospital site. They
provide access to staff parking areas, where spaces may or may not be available at the time
required. The total cost of a parking permit also does not cover the total cost of provision
and maintenance of a parking space.
12.2.3 There are two types of staff permit:
o A standard permit that allows staff to park, without further charge, in general
aqua green car parks or standard staff dark pink car parks.
o Priority permits which will only be valid for the designated priority dark pink car
parking area or a place in the general aqua green or standard staff dark pink car
parking areas. Priority permits are not transferable to other priority car parking
areas or users.
12.2.5 Staff who are car sharers can have a shared parking permit, thus reducing their
parking costs between them. Only one permit will be issued, which can be transferred
between identified vehicles. Please see Section 22 Appendix 6 for a copy of a Car Sharing
Permit Application Form.
12.3
Display of permits
12.3.1 Permits must be clearly displayed on the dashboard/ windscreen of the vehicle when
it is parked at any of the Trust sites. Parking permits will be issued by the parking
administration teams.
12.3.2 Staff parking permits will only be issued under the following criteria, noted below in
no particular priority order, which are assessed using the Trust Staff Car Parking Permit
Application Form, shown in Section 22 appendix 4:
Disabled staff, Blue Badge holders.
Staff who use their car as part of their daily work e.g. Community Midwives.
Staff who have to use their cars in the course of their work on most days (those using
their car for work less frequently can be asked to claim parking fees as an expense).
Staff working hours, whether working social hours, shifts or on-call.
Staff resident more than one mile from the hospital.
Staff who have no appropriate public transport route and live too far away to walk.
Staff who have responsibilities as carers for example, dropping off small children or
caring for elderly relatives which cannot be met using available public transport.
12.3.3 Individual cases may be assessed on personal commitment. Staff may be entitled to
different permits based on having a caring responsibility which in relation to working hours,
prevent them from using other transport alternatives. These circumstances in the main relate
only to childcare/schooling or caring for a relative.
12.3.4 Staff should provide additional written information, as required, on the criteria
application form. This further information will be items such as specific reasons, dates, times
or frequency information. In order to ensure consistency in the application process, staff
should try to provide as much clear detail as possible but there is no need to provide
personal or confidential information.
12.3.5 If you have a particular personal or confidential issue that you believe needs to be
considered as part of your application for a permit, please speak to the relevant parking
administration contact or the Human Resources Department for advice.
12.3.6 In exceptional circumstances, additional details, confirmations, or a letter from the
relevant school/nursery/social services may be required to ensure consistent application of
the permit criteria.
12.3.7 The Trust recognises, and is sensitive to, the needs of various staff groups to park at
the hospital. However, parking is not a right and the requirements of patients and visitors to
park must take precedence.
12.3.8 All applications for a permit to park will be treated on the same basis and evaluated
under the same eligibility criteria. Permits to park do not guarantee staff a parking space
within the car parking areas.
12.3.9 Car parking at the Trust must be managed and controlled in order that the maximum
benefit to all users is realised.
12.4
Appeal
12.4.1 The Trust reserves the right to issue and withdraw staff parking permits and parking
allocation. There are two levels of appeal against any withdrawal of permit or parking
allocation taken under the Vehicle Parking Policy. These levels of appeal are as follows:
Initial appeals these can be made against a refusal or revocation of a Parking

Permit or any enforcement action or CPN issued under the Vehicle Parking
Policy. Staff wishing to make an appeal can do so in writing, by completing the
relevant paperwork (see Section 22 appendix 9), outlining specific reasons for
appeal, to one of the following at the relevant hospital site:

OL1 2JH
A Parking Appeals Body, including a staff or Trades Union representative, the
Associate Director of Facilities and a member of the Human Resources
Directorate and possibly in the case of patient/ visitor appeals, a patient
representative will review any further appeal requests put forward. This body
will contact the appellant directly over how the review process is carried out.
12.5
Staff Parking Fees
12.5.1 Staff parking fees must be paid by deduction from salary, unless there are
extenuating circumstances that must be discussed on an individual basis with the relevant
parking administration team (see Section 22 appendix 11 for contact details). The
deductions will continue until the Trust receives a completed Cancellation or Suspension of
Car Parking Fees form (see Section 22 appendix 5) and the returned car parking permit.
12.5.2 If staff, after discussion with the Car Parking Administration Teams, are paying for
their permits in advance, they must be paid in full before issue for a minimum of a 3 monthly
period. If during this period the permit is cancelled, a refund will be provided, based on the
period remaining on the permit.
12.5.3 The Scale of fees will be reviewed from time to time in consultation with the Joint
Negotiating and Consultative Committee. Fees will be advised to staff making applications
for permits.
12.5.4 If the scale of fees changes within the period of a permit paid for in advance, holders
of such permits will be required to make an additional payment to cover the increase in cost
of the permit from the date of increase to the expiry date of the permit. Likewise, any
decrease in cost will result in a refund from the date of change to the expiry date of the
permit.
12.5.5 If you lose your permit, you should immediately advise the relevant parking
administration staff, who will cancel your existing permit and issue a new permit for you. If
total number of replacement permits issued is high a charge for the replacement of lost
permits may be made to cover costs, unless the loss was crime related and a police crime
number can be provided. Please see Section 22 appendix 4 for further information.
12.5.6 If any of the details that you supplied to obtain your parking permit change, you must
advise the relevant parking administration staff as soon as possible and complete a new
parking permit application, if required.
12.5.7 If you leave the employment of the Trust, it is essential that you surrender your car
parking permit to your issuing office on the day that you leave and complete the form entitled
Cancellation/ Suspension/ Change of Car parking fees , as shown in Section 22 appendix
5, available from your permit issuing office.
12.6
Car parking charge refunds
12.6.1 In circumstances such as maternity leave, or prolonged periods of absence, refunds

may be available. Contact the relevant parking administration team for eligibility details.
13
Other vehicles and users on-site
13.1
Taxis
13.1.1 Taxis collecting or dropping off at the site are exempt from car parking charges for 15
minutes or less. Taxis parking for more than this period must obtain a valid ticket. Taxis must
also abide by the rules for each parking area and should only use designated taxi ranks or
Patient and Visitor (Green), Shared (Aqua Green) or Drop-off (Orange) parking areas.
13.2
Deliveries
13.2.1 Vehicles making deliveries or collecting goods may stop for a short period at the
designated delivery areas, or for a maximum of 15 minutes at drop-off areas. These vehicles
are exempt from charges when;
parked in designated delivery areas, providing the vehicle is removed

immediately after delivery or collection is made.
parked in drop off areas for no longer than the 15 minute permitted waiting
time, without seriously impeding the passage of other vehicles.
13.2.2 With all other types of delivery, the relevant deliverer and trust staff receiving are
required to complete a Trust Contractor/ Delivery Permission to Park Application Form in
advance, a copy of which is shown in Section 22 appendix 7.
13.2.3 In all other situations, delivery vehicles must park in the appropriate parking areas
and pay the parking fee. Where deliveries need to be made where the vehicle must be
adjacent to a specific point, other than a delivery area, the persons organising the delivery
must obtain a contractors permit to park from the relevant parking administration team (see
Section 22 appendix 11 for contact details) and fully advise them of the proposed delivery.
13.3
Contractors
13.3.1 Contractors, including service engineers, must park in the appropriate parking areas
and pay the parking fee or obtain and clearly display a relevant permit. Permits are issued
by the parking administration team and may be charged for at the same rate as a standard
staff permit. This requirement will be referred to in the Estates Departments contract
documents. The only exceptions are where the contract specifies provision of space in a
designated contractors compound, or where work cannot be carried out unless the vehicle is
adjacent to the place of work.
13.3.2 In all cases, relevant trust staff and contractors are required to complete a Trust
Contractor/ Delivery Permission to Park Application Form in advance, a copy of which is
shown in Section 22 appendix 7 in order to request a contractors permit to park from the
relevant parking administration team.
13.4
Local Bus Services
13.4.1 Bus services operating through or to and from bus stops on hospital sites are unlikely
to be parked or waiting in areas other than local bus stops, however there are still issues
with parking infringement and excessive waiting. A specific bus stop parking policy is
currently being developed to cover these local bus services, outside of the vehicle parking
policy.
13.5
Visitors on official business
13.5.1 Visitors on official business with the Trust must park in Patient and Visitor (Green) or
General (Aqua Green) areas and pay the appropriate charge. Individual managers and or
departments are not permitted to issue chits to authorise parking in any area. When inviting
or guiding visitors to a hospital site, in addition to directions, information on public transport
links and alternative travel choices to the hospital should be provided. For large numbers of
visitors attending, please see section 13.8 below for further information.
13.6
The Emergency Services
13.6.1 The emergency services, (Police, Fire, Ambulance or any Armed Forces or other
Government agencies) are exempt from car parking charges. Ambulances waiting on site
must use designated parking bays/ waiting areas and could be asked to clear hospital
entrances expeditiously when dropping off or collecting patients.
13.7
Special arrangements
13.7.1 Pennine Acute Hospital Trusts staff and management are sensitive to the needs and
circumstances of many of our patients and relatives. Special parking arrangements can be
organised through contacting the relevant site parking administration team (see Section 22
appendix 11 for contact details).
These special arrangements must be requested through a Departmental or Ward Manager
and will be authorised only by the relevant site parking administration team (see Section 22
appendix 11 for contact details).
13.8
Conferences and special events
13.8.1 Organisers of conferences and/or special events at the hospitals should consider
making arrangements for attendees to travel by alternative transport means to the hospital
venue (e.g. hired coach, park and ride, public transport). This is to avoid overloading the
existing car parks and preventing staff and patients from being able to park. Organisers
should, when sending out invitations, include information on public transport links and
alternative travel choices to the hospital.
13.8.2 If the conference or special event will involve parking for at least 10 cars or a large
vehicle, they must advise the relevant site parking administration team (see Section 22
appendix 11 for contact details) in advance (as early as possible) with details of the event
and how many people are expected to be attending.
13.9
Resident staff
13.9.1 Resident permit holders are not guaranteed a space on the main hospital site. Only
one vehicle specific permit will be issued per resident and the appropriate parking fee is
payable.
13.10 Temporary staff (agency/bank/locum)

13.10.1 Temporary staff may apply for a permit under the same eligibility criteria and
conditions as permanent staff. Alternatively, those who do not apply for a permit may park in
the General (Aqua Green) parking areas, paying the standard patient and visitor parking
charges.
13.11 Students
13.11.1 All students are subject to the same criteria and fees as other members of staff.
Alternatively, those who do not apply for a permit may park in the General (Aqua Green)
parking areas, paying the standard patient and visitor parking charge.
13.12 Volunteers
13.12.1 Volunteers will be issued with parking permits as required for the hours and days
being worked. Volunteer parking permits will be issued free of charge but section 12.5
regarding Staff Parking permits will still apply to these permits. The permits will be
temporary in nature and subject to regular review.
13.12.2 To apply for a volunteer parking permit, volunteers should complete the form
detailed in Section 22 Appendix 10 and return this to the relevant parking contact for the
hospital site.
14
Car Parking Management
14.1 Car parking is managed internally by the Trust, using facilities and security staff at
each site. The Trust will:
Provide an efficient, courteous car parking service to meet the needs of

patients, visitors and staff at all Trust sites.
14.2
Manage parking areas through progressive enforcement to reduce congestion

and control obstructive parking within the hospital grounds.
Maintain regular patrols around the car parking areas to monitor car parking
and to act as a deterrent against theft, vandalism and ensure security of
vehicles within the car parking areas.
Monitor car crime statistics and, as necessary, liaise with the Police in any
investigations in respect of car crime.
Monitor, record, collect and protect car parking revenue, ensuring that parking
areas are used to their maximum potential for the benefit of all car users to the
Trust.
To quickly respond to and resolve, if possible, queries relating to parking

matters.
This will be supported by the Security Staff Briefing Note in Section 22 Appendix 8.
14.3 On an ongoing basis, when work is carried out on parking areas, facilities will be
improved in order to meet the few recommendations that have not already been achieved
within the Department for Transport Publication Inclusive Mobility A Guide to best practice
on access to pedestrian and transport infrastructure.- Section 5: Published in November
2002 and revised in 2005. A copy of the section from this publication is provided in Section
22 Appendix 3.

Enforcement and Control
15.1
Introduction
15.1 The need for an effective, sensible enforcement process is the basis for any good car
parking management scheme.
15.2 On weekdays, there are often not enough spaces to allow all those who wish to drive
to work or visit our hospitals to park safely and lawfully. Good control of parking at these
times is therefore essential, whilst at other times it is necessary to prevent unauthorised use.
15.3 Traffic control and parking enforcement is naturally accorded a high priority to sustain
options for people to park safely. To meet the requirements of all visitors, staff and patients
to the hospital there are a number of physical controls in place including barriers, warning
signs and an enforcement policy.
15.4 Effective enforcement of all traffic management and payment to park regulations is
essential for the attainment of consistently high levels of compliance if the aims and objects
of any scheme to provide controlled parking at a location are to be achieved and sustained.
15.5 A clear and definite policy provides the foundation from which a cohesive, impartial
and consistent enforcement activity can be structured and implemented.
15.6 The implications arising from the Private Security Industry Act 2001 for vehicle
immobilisation (wheel-clamping) activities and the increasing desire for NHS Trusts to
replace vehicle clamping as the ultimate deterrent as a remedy for parking offences on
private land, has culminated in the need for a change in policy.
15.7 A system of Civil Penalty Notices (CPN's) incorporating fines issued to vehicles
parked in contravention of the parking and payment regulations is deemed to be the most
suitable alternative to wheel-clamping.
15.8 The legal power, authority and organisation to immobilise vehicles would, however,
be retained as a remedy of last resort for vehicles where the ownership or registered keeper
cannot be established beyond all doubt.
16
Policy
16.1 The main objective of the escalation procedure shall be to identify, track and
persuade persistent offenders to comply and shall not seek to unduly penalise first time
offenders, be they staff or members of the public.
16.2 The enforcement shall be based on the issue of a series of computer generated
warnings with an escalation of the severity of the fine values.
16.3 The enforcement shall be implemented in a fair, consistent and equitable manner at
all times and shall apply equally to all members of staff (regardless of status) as well as
visitors and patients.
16.4 An early settlement for the payment of all fines shall feature on the CPN to
encourage prompt payment and thereby avoid costly follow-up procedures.
16.5 The Trust distinguishes between unauthorised parking which is inconsiderate or
unpaid, and unauthorised parking which puts other users of the site at risk. For example,
parking in specifically zoned areas which could prevent the emergency services from
accessing key locations.
16.6 In the case of inconsiderate or unpaid parking, the Trust retains the facility to issue
polite warning notices to any class of user in the first instance. Such warnings will not
constitute a formal warning for the purposes of the policy.
17
Patients and Visitors
17.1
The escalation procedure shall be:

st
First recorded offence 1 warning & 5 penalty charge to be paid within 14

days of issue.
Second recorded offence 2 warning & 10 penalty charge to be paid within

14 days of issue, discounted to 8 if paid within 5 working days of issue.
nd
rd
Third recorded offence 3 warning & 65 penalty charge to be paid within 14

days of issue, discounted to 35 if paid within 5 working days of issue.
Fourth recorded offence 4 warning & 65 penalty charge to be paid within

th
17.2 Each subsequent offence thereafter, regardless whether payment is made in full or
not, will result in a 65.00 penalty charge to be paid within 14 days of issue (with no prompt
settlement discount). There will be no monitoring period.
17.3 The interpretation and implementation of the enforcement policy shall at all times be
conducted in a manner that recognises and is sensitive to the hospital environment.
17.4
The Trust shall retain the exclusive right to:

i) intervene in the enforcement or fine escalation process at any time if it is judged
to be in the best interests of the Trust to do so.
ii) instruct that any particular fine or series of fines be withdrawn and deleted from
the database of persistent offenders at any time if it is judged to be in the best
interests of the Trust to do so.
17.5 The policy shall be subject to review and amendment in the light of operational
experience.
18
Staff
18.1 Staff will face the same financial penalties as members of the public for parking
breaches.
18.2 In addition to this, the Trust distinguishes between unauthorised parking which is
inconsiderate or unpaid, and unauthorised parking which puts other users of the site at risk.
For example, parking in specifically zoned areas which could prevent the emergency
services from accessing key locations.
18.3
The escalation procedure shall be:

st
First recorded offence 1 warning & 5 penalty charge to be paid within 14

days of issue.
Second recorded offence 2 warning & 10 penalty charge to be paid within

Third recorded offence 3 warning & 65 penalty charge to be paid within 14

days of issue, discounted to 35 if paid within 5 working days of issue.
Fourth recorded offence 4 warning & 65 penalty charge to be paid within

nd
rd
th
18.4 Each subsequent offence thereafter, regardless whether payment is made in full or
not, will result in a 65.00 penalty charge to be paid within 14 days of issue (with no prompt
settlement discount) and the removal of the staff parking permit and parking entitlement, if
applicable. There will be no monitoring period.
18.5 The interpretation and implementation of the enforcement policy shall at all times be
conducted in a manner that recognises and is sensitive to the hospital environment.
18.6
i) intervene in the enforcement or fine escalation process at any time if it is judged to

be in the best interests of the Trust to do so.
ii) instruct that any particular fine or series of fines be withdrawn and deleted from the
database of persistent offenders at any time if it is judged to be in the best interests
of the Trust to do so.
18.7 The policy shall be subject to review and amendment in the light of operational
experience.
19
Policy Rules
19.1 The policy shall apply, without exception, to all users of the parking facilities and
roadways provided and maintained by the Trust.
19.2 Civil Penalty Notices (CPNs) shall be issued to all vehicles clearly parked in
contravention of any parking restrictions and/or payment requirements to:
i) generate sufficient revenue from parking to ensure that the cost of provision
maintenance and management of the parking facilities is totally funded by the users
of such facilities.
ii) ensure that traffic movement for essential services is unimpeded and potentially
hazardous acts of parking are addressed.
19.3 Each parking or payment offence shall have the date and time indicated and be
allocated a unique 5 part reference, that shall give a unique reference number, location,
distinguish between type of vehicle/ user and shall indicate the type of offence in the
following format:
i)
Unique Reference Number e.g. 0001
ii)
Location; F- Fairfield, N- North Manchester, O- Oldham, R- Rochdale and Zother location covered by policy
iii)
Type of vehicle/ user; B- Bus, C- Contractor, D- Delivery, P- Public, S Staff, TTaxi.
iv)
P Polite Informal Warning, W Warning and Fine issued
v)
Code for offence, see section 22, appendices 1 and 2 for details of these
codes.
19.4 Thus, a Civil Penalty Notice bearing 0001R-PW01 will indicate a payment offence
issued at Rochdale Infirmary to a vehicle presumed to be public, for the offence of parking
without a valid ticket.
19.5
Appeal
19.5.1 There are two levels of appeal against any enforcement action taken under the
Vehicle Parking Policy.
19.5.2 The first level of appeal is as follows:
Initial appeals these can be made against any enforcement action or CPN
issued under the Vehicle Parking Policy. This initial appeal must be made
within 5 working days of the enforcement action taking place. Patients, Visitors
or Staff wishing to make an appeal can do so when paying the fine by
completing the relevant paperwork (see section 22, appendix 9), outlining
specific reasons for appeal, to one of the following at the relevant hospital site:
North Manchester General

Parking Appeals, c/o Site Services Manager, Facilities Department, North
Manchester General Hospital, Delauneys Road, Crumpsall, Manchester, M8
5RB
Royal Oldham
Parking Appeals, c/o Site Services Manager, Facilities Department, Chalmers
Keddie Building, Royal Oldham Hospital, Rochdale Road, Oldham, OL1 2JH
Fairfield Hospital & Rochdale Infirmary
Parking Appeals, c/o Security/ Car Parking Manager, Estates Department,
Fairfield General Hospital, Rochdale Old Road, Bury, BL9 7TD
19.5.3 Following the decision of this initial appeal, if the appeal is rejected and the
enforcement action is upheld, the appellant will have a period of 10 working days to instigate
a further appeal. If no further appeal is made within this period and any fines are still
outstanding, action as detailed under section 20 Recovery Process will be instigated. If the
appeal is successful, any fines paid relating to the appeal will be refunded.
19.5.4 The second level of appeal is as follows:
Further appeals Having made an initial appeal and been unsatisfied with the
method or the verdict of this appeal, a second level of appeal is available.
Patients, Visitors or Staff wishing to make a Further Appeal should do so in
writing, within 10 working days of the decision of an initial appeal, outlining the
full reasons for requesting a further appeal or any new evidence to:
Parking Further Appeal
Associate Director of Facilities
Estates Department
Rochdale Road
OLDHAM
OL1 2JH.
A Parking Appeals Body including a staff or Trades Union representative, the
Associate Director of Facilities and a member of the Human Resources
Directorate and possibly in the case of patient/ visitor appeals, a patient
representative, will review any further appeal requests put forward. This body
will contact the appellant directly over how the review process is carried out.
19.5.4 Following the decision of this further appeal, if the appeal is rejected and the
enforcement action is upheld, if the fine is still outstanding, the appellant will have a period of
14 days to pay the fine. If full payment is not made within this period, action as detailed
under section 20 Recovery Process will be instigated. If the appeal is successful, any fines
paid relating to the appeal will be refunded.
20
Recovery Process
20.1 The recovery of any unpaid fines is not a financial recovery scheme, but an
enforcement issue. It shall be undertaken for the deterrent effect and any recoveries will be
included as part of parking revenue.
20.2 The recovery process shall follow a pre-determined sequence of key dates and shall
not be influenced by claims for undue consideration from the debtor.
20.3 If the recovery process is instigated against an individual or vehicle, the recovery
action will include the collection of all unpaid fines that are outstanding against that individual
or vehicle.
20.4
An example of the recovery process would be as follows:

rd
Following the issue of a 3 offence warning with a face value fine of 65.00:
i) The discounted value of 35.00 should be received within 5 working days of issue
of the CPN.
ii) Alternatively, the full value of 65.00 should be received within 14 days of issue of
the CPN.
iii) Should full or part payment be outstanding after 21 days from the date of issue of
the CPN, application shall be made to the DVLA in Swansea for the name and
address of the registered keeper of the offending vehicle.
20.5 Upon receipt of the registered keeper/ driver details, an account will be dispatched
itemising all of the parking offences where fines remain unpaid, together with the
consequences of failing to make full settlement within the following 14 day period.
20.6 A final reminder letter will be sent to the debtor, if payment in full is not received
within the specified 14 days, the account will be passed to an approved debt collection
agency for recovery.
20.7

i) intervene in the recovery process at any time if it is judged to be in the best
interests of the Trust to do so.
ii) instruct that any particular fine or series of fines be withdrawn and deleted from the
database of persistent offenders at any time if it is judged to be in the best interests
of the Trust to do so.
21
Definition of Unauthorised Parking

5 Car parking
5.1 General provision
Provision should be made for car parking spaces for disabled motorists (Blue Badge
holders), wherever conventional parking spaces are provided. In off-street car parks
operated by a Local Authority and in car parks offered for public use by private
companies, spaces for Blue Badge holders should be provided as close as possible,
preferably within 50 metres of the facilities served by the car park with level or ramped
(preferred gradient 5 per cent) access, and under cover if possible.
In open parking areas, designated parking spaces should be located on firm and level
ground. The surface of designated parking spaces should be even and stable, with any
variation of surface profile not exceeding 5mm (e.g. between paving, surface features
or different surfaces). Where the provision of designated parking spaces close to the
building is not possible, a setting-down point for disabled passengers should be provided
on firm and level ground, close to the principal entrance to the building. The surface of
the pavement or footpath alongside a setting-down point should be level with the
carriageway at this point. Tactile indication of this type of setting-down point is necessary
to enable people with impaired vision to determine whether they are on the pavement or
the carriageway.
In multi-storey car parks the spaces should be on the level or levels at which there is
pedestrian access or, if this is not possible, near to a lift usable by wheelchair users.
Where car parks serve a general area rather than a specific facility, consideration should
be given to providing a Shopmobility service (1) for disabled motorists between the car
park and the area served by it. This type of service, of which there are many examples,
can also be helpful for older and disabled people who travel to a town centre by Dial-aRide or similar accessible bus services. A good location for a Shopmobility scheme
office would be in close proximity to a large car park and set down/pick up points for local
Dial-a-Ride, Community Transport bus services and local public transport.
Spaces reserved for use by disabled motorists should be monitored for abuse, with
reminder notices or other appropriate action taken if cars are wrongly parked.
Where park-and-ride facilities are available, the advance signing should include
information on whether or not the facility is served by wheelchair accessible buses.
5.2 Recommended spaces for disabled motorists parking

The recommended proportions of spaces (2) for Blue Badge holders are:
(i) For car parks associated with existing employment premises: 2% of the total car park
capacity, with a minimum of one space. Spaces for disabled employees must be
additional to those recommended above; reservations could be ensured, for example, by
marking a space with a registration number.
(ii) For car parks associated with new employment premises: 5% of the total parking
capacity should be designated (to include both employees and visitors).
(iii) For car parks associated with shopping areas, leisure or recreational facilities, and
places open to the general public: A minimum of one space for each employee who is a
disabled motorist, plus 6% of the total capacity for visiting disabled motorists.
The numbers of designated spaces may need to be greater at hotels and sports stadia
that specialize in accommodating groups of disabled people.
At railway stations, the Strategic Rail Authority (SRA) (3) recommends the following:
Fewer than 20 spaces, a minimum of 1 reserved space
20 to 60 spaces, a minimum of 2 reserved spaces
61 to 200 spaces, 6% of capacity, with a minimum of 3 reserved spaces
Over 200 spaces, 4% of capacity, plus 4 reserved spaces
An additional space should also be provided for any railway employee who is a disabled
motorist.
5.3 Bay design

DfT Traffic Advisory Leaflet 5/95 gives detailed advice on the provision and design of
parking for disabled car users, as does BS 8300, "Design of buildings and their
approaches to meet the needs of disabled people Code of practice".
On-street parking parallel to the kerb: within the marked parking space, a clear
rectangular space should be provided which is a minimum of 6600mm long by 2700mm
wide (preferably 3600mm). The extra width allows for an access zone on kerb or street
side.
On-street parking at an angle to the kerb: the parking space should be a minimum of
4200mm long by 3600mm wide. It is recommended that kerbside parking bays should be
sited where road gradient and camber are reasonably level, e.g. 1:50. A road with a
steep camber causes difficulties for wheelchair users who have a side lift in their vehicle.
Where designated bays on-street are at a different level from the adjacent pavement,
dropped kerbs should be provided for wheelchair users, with appropriate tactile marking.
It should be remembered that parking vehicles partly on the pavement is one of the main
causes of concern to blind and visually impaired people, deafblind and partially sighted
people in the pedestrian environment. Every effort should be made to ensure that it does
not occur or that, if it does, appropriate enforcement action is taken.
Off-street parking: bays should be a minimum of 4800mm long by 2400mm wide with
additional space:
Where bays are parallel to the access aisle and access is available from the
side an extra length of at least 1800mm, or,
Where bays are perpendicular to the access aisle, an additional width of at

least 1200mm along each side. Where bays are adjacent the same 1200mm
space can serve both sides. There should also be a 1200mm wide safety zone
at the vehicle access end of each bay to provide boot access or for use of a
rear hoist.
5.4 Bay marking and signing

On-street bays should be indicated by signs in accordance with TSRGD; road markings
must also confirm to TSRGD. Each bay should have a raised sign at the head of the bay
to ensure that if snow or fallen leaves obscure the road markings, the purpose of the bay
is still apparent.
In off-street parks, bays should be marked with yellow lines and a yellow wheelchair
symbol within the parking space. A sign or, if appropriate, signs should be provided at
the entrance to the car park to direct disabled motorists to designated parking spaces
which, if the car park is not under cover, should also have raised signs at the head of the
reserved bays.
Signs inside the car park should show the most convenient way to the facilities served by
the park, with an approximate distance to those facilities.
Where the car park is provided for a specific facility and where there are staff available,
an emergency/ assistance point could be located adjacent to the area reserved for
disabled car users.
5.5 Parking control equipment

In many places Blue Badge holders do not have to pay for parking, but in some they do.
Where this is so, the design of pay and display machines, parking meters etc, should
conform to the standards given in Section 9.1. Signs should make it very clear that Blue
Badge holders are required to pay.
BS 8300 states that ticket dispensers and slots for coins or cards that need to be
operated from a wheelchair should not be less than 750mm and not more than 1200mm
high. Any variable message displays or control instructions should be centred on
1500mm above ground level. Keypads on those parking machines which require
registration numbers to be typed in, should be no more than 1200mm high.
Access to the ticket machine should take account of the space at foot level needed by a
wheelchair user and should not be placed on plinths, or, if a plinth is necessary, it should
not extend out beyond the face of the equipment. To allow wheelchair users to
manoeuvre in front of the machine, there should be a clear space of 1850 x 2100mm.
Barrier control units (for coin or card entry and ticket issue) should be between 1000mm
and 1300mm above ground, with instruction plates placed at the lower end of the range
(1000mm to 1600mm above ground) required by BS 6571.
Irrespective of the particular type of charging system used, it helps disabled motorists if
they are informed before entering the car park what sort of system is used or if there is
no charge. It is also essential that the maximum acceptable height of vehicle is shown on
the approach to the car park.
Some disabled motorists use vans or high-top cars, others use cars with their wheelchair
stowed on top of the vehicle, so height can be critical. It is recommended that the
minimum vertical clearance, from carriageway to designated parking bays should be
2600mm. This height is sufficient for a car carrying a wheelchair on its roof and for the
wheelchair to be positioned vertically during the hoisting process.
If it is not possible to maintain this height along the route to the designated bays,
information to that effect, specifying what the minimum clearance is, must be displayed
prominently so that the driver of a higher vehicle has time to avoid entering the car park.
At the same point, directions to a suitable alternative parking area must be displayed.

and personal assistance for disabled people when they travel round the centre.

Appendix 4
Please Read Terms and Conditions Stated Below
Before Completing the Application Form
Only staff with a current valid, fully paid for car parking permit will be entitled to park at Trust
sites in areas specifically designated for staff parking. Staff parking permits do not cover any
member of staff parking in designated patient and visitor only car parking areas.
Staff parking permits do not guarantee a parking space on any hospital site. They provide
access to staff parking areas, where spaces may or may not be available at the time
required. The total cost of a parking permit also does not cover the total cost of provision
and maintenance of a parking space.
Please fully complete the staff permit application form before handing it in. Any forms that
are not fully completed will not be processed further and you will not receive a parking
permit. If you have any difficulties or queries when completing the application form, please
contact your relevant permit issuing office (details are at the end of this form). If you are
successful in your application for a permit, you will then be required to complete and return
the permit issue form.
Public Transport Information

The section of the application regarding your journey to and from work requests information
on public transport for this journey. If you are not aware of public transport options for this
journey you can use the following website:
http://nw.aimwebsites.co.uk/
This links to a journey planner that following the inputting of locations, times and preferred
options will calculate a public transport journey for you including walking times and
distances. The journey with the shortest journey time and the least number of changes
should be used when completing the form.
Car Sharing Permits

If you are applying for a Car Sharing Permit as part of a Car Sharing Group, you should only
complete the Staff Car Parking Permit Application Form. When each member of the group
has completed this form, you should attach them to a single Car Sharing Permit Application
Form that should be completed by the person who will pay deductions for the group that
should also be signed by all group members.
Deduction from Salary Mandate

The authority to deduct will continue until express written notice to cancel payments is
received, using the form entitled Cancellation/ Suspension/ Change of Car parking fees
available from your permit issuing office.
Display of Permit
Your permit should be clearly displayed in the windscreen of your vehicle when parked in the
hospital grounds. It should also be legible to any staff monitoring parking on site. If your
permit becomes damaged or faded so that it is unreadable, you should request a new permit
from the relevant issuing office. Displaying an unreadable parking permit may result in
enforcement action being taken.
Voluntary Cancellation
If you no longer wish to participate in the car parking scheme, whether you are paying for
your permit by deduction from salary, or by cheque paid in advance, you must surrender
your permit to your permit issuing office and complete the form entitled Cancellation/
Suspension/ Change of Car parking fees available from your permit issuing office.
If you leave the employment of the Trust

It is essential that you surrender your car parking permit to your issuing office on prior to or
on the day that you leave and complete the form entitled Cancellation/ Suspension/ Change
of Car parking fees available from your permit issuing office in advance of your leaving date.
Failure to do so may result in your salary still having the cost of the permit being deducted.
If you lose your permit

Your car parking permit is of great value and every effort should be made to ensure that you
do not lose it. If you lose your permit, you should immediately advise the relevant parking
administration staff, who will cancel your existing permit and issue a new permit for you. If
the total number of replacement permits issued is high a charge for the replacement of lost
permits may be made to cover costs, unless the loss was crime related and a police crime
number can be provided.
If your permit is stolen

If your permit is stolen you should produce a police crime reference number in order to be
issued with a replacement permit free of charge, otherwise the replacement charge may
have to be paid as outlined above.
Additional Information
Staff should provide additional written information, as required, on the criteria application
form. This further information will be items such as specific reasons, dates, times or
frequency information. In order to ensure consistency in the application process, staff
should try to provide as much clear detail as possible but there is no need to provide
personal or confidential information.
If you have a particular personal or confidential issue that you believe needs to be

contact or the Human Resources Department for advice.
In exceptional circumstances, additional details, confirmations, or a letter from the relevant
school/nursery/social services may be required to ensure consistent application of the permit

10 Trust Volunteer Parking Permit Application Form
Only volunteers with a current valid for car parking permit will be entitled to park at
Trust sites in areas specifically designated for staff parking. Volunteer parking
permits do not cover any member of staff parking in designated patient and visitor
only car parking areas. Any volunteers without parking permits should park in
General (Aqua Green) parking areas and pay the appropriate charges.
Volunteer parking permits do not guarantee a parking space on any hospital site.
They provide access to staff parking areas, where spaces may or may not be
available at the time required.
Please fully complete the volunteer permit application form before handing it in. Any
forms that are not fully completed will not be processed further and you will not
receive a parking permit. If you have any difficulties or queries when completing the
application form, please contact your relevant permit issuing office (details are at the
end of this form).
This form must be fully completed prior to the required dates, preferably with the
assistance of a Trust staff member authorising your work or managing the relevant
project.
It should be sent or emailed to the relevant parking administration team at each
hospital site (shown at the end of this form). It should also be signed/ emailed by the
Trust staff member requiring authorising your the work or managing the relevant
project to confirm the details are correct. This form does not automatically permit
parking. The parking permit issuing office will advise if you have gained a permit to
park and of any additional issues or requirements.
Display of Permit
Your permit should be clearly displayed in the windscreen of your vehicle when
parked in the hospital grounds. It should also be legible to any staff monitoring
parking on site. If your permit becomes damaged or faded so that it is unreadable,
you should request a new permit from the relevant issuing office. Displaying an
unreadable parking permit may result in enforcement action being taken.
If your voluntary work changes or you stop doing voluntary work

If the days, hours or locations of your voluntary work change greatly, you must
complete a new application form to ensure that permit details are updated. If you
stop doing voluntary work it is essential that you surrender your car parking permit to
your issuing office on the day that you cease doing the voluntary work. For further
advice or information contact your relevant permit issuing office.
If you lose your permit

Your car parking permit is of great value and every effort should be made to ensure
that you do not lose it. If you lose your permit, you should immediately advise the
relevant parking administration staff, who will cancel your existing permit and issue a
new permit for you. If total number of replacement permits issued is high a charge
for the replacement of lost permits may be made to cover costs, unless the loss was
crime related and a police crime number can be provided.
If stop volunteering at the Trust

Please surrender your car parking permit to your issuing office prior to, or on the day
