Rejected petition Allow NHS workers to park for free at hospitals to avoid public transport

Allowing NHS workers to park for free at hospitals would mean staff wouldn’t be forced to take public transport during COVID-19 which would lower the risk of spreading the virus.

More details

This would mean that staff would be able to social distance themselves more from catching or spreading the Coronavirus. This would also mean staff could get to work a lot quicker not having to rely on public transport.
