Letter: The Royal Surrey Needs a Multi-storey Car Park

In response to: Car Parking Charges Reduced at Royal Surrey
But what The Royal Surrey Hospital really needs is a new, multi-storey car park.
Trying to park yesterday, to spend the day with my daughter, who is undergoing cancer treatment, I went four times round the dedicated oncology car-park, then spent the same time in the main car-park before getting a place.
Apparently, GBC turned down a multi-storey car park as they want people to use public transport. This is not practical for the disabled the cancer patients, and the visitors and patients coming from a distance. Appointments have to be kept, sometimes at inconvenient times. One cannot work out the timings and connections from surrounding villages.
I would like local people to start a campaign to reinstate this proposal.

I agree. I was working at the RSCH when it first opened [at Egerton Road] until 1998 and all that time there were parking problems not only for staff but patients and visitors and it still goes on. From memory, a multi-storey car park was muted then and turned down because it would be a distraction to traffic on the A3 so the trees had to remain, it should have been built then. It needs addressing urgently.

Can a petition on the GBC website be started? There’s one going about a new ridiculous parking restriction at East Horsley Village Hall and I’m sure the hospital one would get a decent response.

The Royal Surrey Hospital needs to put in another application. Someone who is in the know there should talk to whoever was responsible for the previous application.
Once the planners have a new application, then a petition could be started to persuade them that the car park is a necessity.
