Hospital Parking
Not sure how to get this to all Canterbury but I'll try.
Day and half in public hospital last week.
Access is appalling. Delivery by family, access for any visitors is crazy! Poor staff.
While still quite ill I feel I must speak up:-
The Ministry of Health and Our City Council have shut back down on this mess so it looks to me like some of our well members need to take some action to inject action into those we pay to provide services.
Were I 30 years younger (now 92) I might possibly get a group together to lift the posts blocking access to that corner of Hagley Park and put 'Hospital Parking' notices up because until they are faced with some public action they will continue to waffle around in circles.
Not to take over the park but to trigger action.
Talking to staff some really are parking up at 05:00 in the morning and sleeping in their cars with an alarm to get into work at 07:00. This is madness.
