Newcastle's Labor councillors have called out the reinstatement of paid staff parking at John Hunter Hospital as another "inconsistent" example of the city's classification as both regional and metropolitan.
The Labor bloc has lodged a notice of motion to the February 27 Newcastle council meeting to seek answers about the NSW government's decision to reintroduce parking fees for nurses, midwives, doctors and allied health workers at John Hunter, Calvary Mater and James Fletcher hospitals from February 1.
