A woman has said a lack of parking at a Nottingham hospital is causing 'stress on top of stress' after her relative was fined during a cancer appointment. Sarah Harris, of Wollaton, said she and a family member spent more than half an hour looking for a spot at Nottingham City Hospital's visitor car parks before being told there was no space.
“We spent at least 40 minutes before the appointment driving around the hospital twice and there were no parking spots," the 25-year-old journalist told Nottinghamshire Live. "The parking attendants said it was all full."
However, she said one attendant let them park in the staff area as it was "hardly ever checked". "So we parked on some grass there, we weren’t blocking anybody and there was lots of space for people to get around," Ms Harris continued. "Two hours later we found we’d been fined."
