Reposted by Jonathan BennettDread and Rosie @rosiemund.bsky.social · 22/09/2026This is the reality. Hospital parking charges get a huge amount of attention & ire but provision of parking isn't free &, if it's free at the point of use, that's funding that isn't going into care. Ensuring there are non-driving alternatives is cheaper, has wider advantages & is far more equitable. 2218
