Wye Valley NHS Trust is advising patients and visitors to its hospitals that the temporary free parking introduced during the coronavirus outbreak finishes at the end of the month.

This Saturday, August 1, the normal parking arrangements come into force.

In line with other hospitals and NHS organisations across the country, the Trust has provided free parking since the pandemic took hold in March this year.

Services are currently being restored in a safe and managed way and the temporary car park arrangements will cease at the end of the month.

Visitors and patients can pay for their car parking using contactless payments.

The Trust also has a range of concessions for those using its car parks – details can be found on the Trust’s website – www.wyevalley.nhs.uk

The end of the temporary parking arrangements covers car parks at Hereford County Hospital and also at the community hospitals in Bromyard, Leominster and Ross-on-Wye.
