Had a call back yesterday. Just needed a rant.
I work at a hospital in the town centre so parking is a nightmare. I have always been allowed to park in the car park at work with my blue badge. This has now temporarily closed due to re development.
I returned to work this week after 12 weeks off. A lot better but mobility not as good as it can be yet.
Well got a call from access to work to say they cannot help with taxis. ( Occy health suggested this ) due to me being a driver. I am expected to go to the municiple car park. If spaces and pay £ 30 a week. On my part time wage it would be not worth going.
It really annoys me, I have never asked for anything or receive any benefits. Started work as a pre nursing student at 16, had to leave the job I loved due to this disease. Now work on lower band and part time.
It really makes me mad sometimes.
That terrible its time the hospital s got there parking sorted you should not have to pay you don't go for the fun of it
Thanks Junechurch. They are going to try and get me a place when our new build is complete. It's just the interim.
