Christchurch Hospital patients and visitors have welcomed upgrades to a park-and-ride site once described as a “potholed mess”.

The car park, which has 200 spaces for patients and visitors and up to 150 for staff, is sealed, lit and offers covered shelters for those waiting for a shuttle to Christchurch Hospital.

Staveley housewife Judy Vaughan​, 63, used the shuttle to get to her hospital appointment on Monday.

She said the Deans Ave site was easy to find and the shuttle was a "good service", which she would recommend to friends.

What are your thoughts on the new service?
