Car parking charges set to rise by up to 100% at hospitals in Newcastle

Parking charges will increase for patients and visitors at hospitals in Newcastle from 1 July. In some cases they could see a 67% increase when staying up to an hour and while others will be hit by a 100% hike when staying up to five hours on the standard tariff (£12 from £6).

The new charges will apply across the Trust’s hospital sites including the Royal Victoria Infirmary and Freeman Hospital starting from the first day of next month. The NHS Foundation Trust has said the decision to introduce the new charges has not been taken lightly.
