Being disabled and having cancer I need to be able to park in a disabled space. Also bringing my blind son and his pregnant wife to maternity is an absolute nightmare with builders taking up so many parking spaces

Would cut down appointments being late for if there was more parking. People wouldn’t then need to park their cars in no parking areas which makes it more difficult too get through as they block up what little space there is

I have to visit the eye hospital on a regular basis. My wife has to drive as I can't. It usually takes at least 30 minutes to find a parking space.

The hospital badly needs more parking for both staff and patients alike. Not always suitable to come and go by bus when people live miles outside the city.

Need easy parking when unwell. I have to go regularly to eye hospital for monitoring and can take a bus on those occasions but when needing A and E due to no ambulance, I couldn’t park when having a suspected stroke so went home.

nightmare to guarantee parking in time for appointments,if you really are not well,or have hurt arm,leg,back,a bus trip is'nt the answer,you cannot keep loading more onto the hospital without sorting parking,need three people for one appointment,patient, someone to accompany them,and one driving to drop them off, then drive around until parking space is available!

Our family all use this hospital and lack of parking makes it so stressful when going for appointments or visiting someone.

The current parking situation is a complete joke. I have to park in headington to ensure I can get to any appointments…

We visit regularly for many reasons, having to leave an hour earlier than needed just to allow time to find a spot.

Travel difficulty is a major additional stress on top of medical problems. Waiting 45 minutes for a blue badge space is unacceptable.

It is so stressful to park for everyone, particularly for those visiting very sick relatives or taking elderly patients to appointments.

Myself and my husband regularly take his elderly parents to hospital appointments and they both struggle with the park and ride buses.

Accessibility is essential and it starts with roads and parking.

We have to use the Churchill from time to time, nobody wants to but alas it’s necessary. The visit would be so much more less stressful if we were able to park more easily.
