Hospital parking Posted or Updated on 8 Sep 2023

Disabled drivers will benefit from free parking at their local hospital starting from Monday 26th April.

Blue badge holders parking at Grimsby, Goole and Scunthorpe hospitals will no longer be charged to park giving free parking for those who need it the most.

Also benefitting are frequent outpatient attenders.

Jug Johal, director of estates and facilities, at Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust, said: “For a long time now we have offered a low fixed rate tariff fee for disabled drivers but from April 26 we are implementing free parking for blue badge holders at our three hospitals.

“Our car parks operate using automatic number plate recognition technology so patients and visitors who are already registered on our systems won’t need to do anything to claim the concession, the barrier will simply lift for them, there is no need to visit the pay station.”

Anyone who is not on the system needs to follow the instructions below.

Cancer patients attending for a course of treatment, those visiting for prolonged visits with a patient who is at the end of their life and parents staying with a sick child overnight can already claim free parking and will continue to be able to.

Staff parking continues to be free during the pandemic, but when charges do get re-instated, disabled staff members will be able to claim free parking, and night shift workers will also get discounted parking.
