Less than a month after Clitheroe’s new multi-million flagship hospitalofficially opened its doors to patients it has been hit by parking prob lems.
Crisis talks are being held by health bosses at the East Lancashire Hospital NHS Trust due to a chronic short age of parking at the state-of- the-art hospital in Chatburn- Road. The new £7.-4m. facility
opened less than a month ago, on June 9th, and currently of- fers58freecarparkingspaces and seven for the disabled to accommodate cars used by pa tients, visitors and staff. However, people visiting
the 32-bed two-storey build ing are complaining that they have to repeatedly drive
around the car park search ing for a bay and often end up “abandoning” their cars on the road outside the hospital. Some say that Chatburn
Road is so cluttered with cars parked near to the hospital that it has become very diffi cult for drivers of buses and large vehicles to drive down the road. Clitheroe resident Mr Ron
Loebellhasexperiencedprob- lems. He said: “It’s a major flaw
and it’s absolutely ridiculous. There are jus t not enough parking spaces for patients and relatives visiting. “It’s pretty poor that they
build a brand new hospital, but do not take into account the number of people visiting the hospital. “A friend o f mine had a 9 ■
am appointment, but when he arrived at the hospital the car park was full and he was forced to park on the road out side.
The car parkatthenewClitherbe Community Hospital, which itisclaimeddoes not have enough spaces. “Maybeiftheyintroduceda
shuttle bus then the situation would not be so bad.” Mr Martin Morgan, Direc
tor of Estates and Facilities at East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust, said: “The new
Clitheroe Hospital was de signed by East Lancashire Building Partnership and the allocation of parking spaces was agreed with the local plan ning authority. “We are aware of the car
parking difficulties now the hospital is operational and are consulting with NHS Property Services and the local planning authority in an attempt to resolve the sit uation.”
WHATDO YOUTHINK?
