THE Western Trust says it has launched a “14 week targeted engagement process” to receive the views/comments on a proposal to implement a permanent increase to paid car parking charges.
The proposal relates to the rate charged for all paid parking spaces on the Altnagelvin Hospital site.
The Trust undertook a public consultation earlier this year on a range of temporary proposals as part of the in year financial savings plan, and included in this was an increase in the car parking charge rate effective from 1 November 2017 to 31 March 2018.
Teresa Molloy, Western Trust Director of Performance and Service Improvement commented:
“This current targeted engagement process is open until 16 March 2018 and relates to a Trust proposal to implement as a permanent measure the increased rate that has been applied temporarily in year.
“The Western Trust remains aligned to the regional policy on car parking provision and management in relation to the setting of charge rates and the proposed permanent rate does represent a balance between local car parking rates and what it costs the Trust to provide, manage and maintain car parking on our hospital sites.”
The Trust would like to hear the views/feedback on the proposal and a briefing document outlining the proposal and a questionnaire is available by on its website at /www.westerntrust.hscni.net/
