Improve Parking & Access at the JR and Churchill Hospitals

Abbi Butler

I am at the hospital multiple times throughout the year due to my health condition and it is always extremely difficult to park and have to leave a lot earlier than needed in order to get parked.

Tania McFerran

Want better parking at JR

Petrina Hassan

I have regular visits to the JR . We have had multiple parking fines because of lack of parking. We always leave at least an hour to find a space and still fail .

Michael Willis

Difficult to get to the JR from where I live by public transport. Typically taking over 2 hours via2 or 3 busses and a long walk which I can see will be difficult as I get older. A taxi over £50 each way. I have been to Reading in the past as it is easier to park.

Pip Whitbread

So stressful to take someone to JR and nowhere to park . Hospital are stressful enough. I had to park illegally to pick up my elderly friend- no other option!!

Bridget Kelly

Have sat for up to an hour in the past, heavily pregnant waiting for parking to become available.

Richard Garbutt

Our hospitals need more parking.

Sick people can’t use public transport, neither can those with mobility issues.

Janet Humphrey

Spent 1 HR 29 mins last month trying to find a parking space husband had appointment at eye clinic for mactel2

Parking issues made a tough season of our life even harder unnecessarily due to the struggle for my partner to park, during visits in pregnancy, labour, and then a long stay postpartum - it was extra stress that could have been avoided had there been sufficient parking

Naomi Lanighan

From both attending for myself and whilst looking after others, a multi-story car park would have significantly removed a lot of stress from those hospital trips. There is currently not enough blue badge parking, so it is extremely difficult for disabled people to attend appointments on time. Please rethink your parking policies.

People need to be able to park at the hospital, it’s a basic need.

There is masses of land at the back of the churchill hospital where rumble and old buildings are and constantly police had to manage with firecrackers and speeding bikes at all hours and drug trafficking taking place etc at all hours over the last years… the land is abandoned but better use would be a lot more parking and a bigger nursery space for working staff.

Anne Gwinnett

The lack of adequate parking on the hospital sites makes traffic on local roads worse, and it also causes huge distress, and stress, to ill people and those trying to visit the dying. This is inhumane.

Elaine Shelton

We don't need any more stress when we are not well..need treatment, visit a loved one etc. Appointments are missed because of the parking situation. See sense and get it sorted

Steve Evans

Having to visit multiple times a year it is a night mare. No consideration has been given at all to give those that need it proper access.

J Sands

Spending time at appointments can be very stressful and expensive, given payments in force to drive there. Having the stress of driving around looking for somewhere to park just adds to it all

Jo Coveley

For such a large hospital the parking is very limited and expensive. As a resident of Marston I’m also affected by the queues in both directions on Headley Way, as cars try to get on site at the JR, all fruitlessly looking for non existent parking.

David Mahon

I have often taken my dad to all of Oxfords hospitals for apppointments. I have found that not only is the congestion on the way to the hospitals awful, as a result of the congestipn charge, and LTN's. Also very often when I do finally get there, it's very difficult to park, even with a blue badge. The hospitals needs better parking, and ideology should not come before peoples health.

Amy Johnston

Absolute nightmare to park at the JR! Doesn’t help that one car park has been built on! People go to hospital because they are sick, so can’t cycle, use buses or walk!
