There is a severe lack of parking for staff and visitors alike, with the added issue that visitor parking charges are very high. This has led to quiet, residential streets in the vicinity taking the strain. Over the years many residents have complained of inconsiderate and occasionally dangerous parking habits.
Original plans for an extended park and ride south of the river, included the use of the existing facility as an overspill car park for the hospital with a shuttle bus service to and from the Royal United Hospital (RUH). Indeed, a comment posted regarding the piece 'Park and ride users?' told us that many RUH staff use the current park and ride as a free car park as there is no room on site or in the surrounding roads.
B&NES Council's current proposals will relegate residents' hopes of returning to a more peaceful way of life to the dustbin.
