New Christchurch Hospital car park expected to be 1000 short of what is needed
Hi Cantabs,
A new car park being planned for Christchurch Hospital is expected to provide a further 450 spaces – still almost 1000 short of what experts feel is needed.
Years of inadequate facilities around the central city hospital have seen staff threatened with fines for parking on nearby Hagley Park, medics camping out in their cars to secure spots and nursing staff attacked at night during lengthy walks back to where they have parked.
Plans for a new parking building are expected to be announced by the Government in the next few weeks, and National’s deputy leader and Ilam MP Gerry Brownlee said he had been reliably informed the proposal offers 450 spaces.
Does 450 spaces sound like enough to you?
Poll: Should employees be able to work from home?
At the post-Cabinet press conference, the National Party asserted they want public sector staff to return to the office. This has opened a conversation about other sectors in New Zealand who have adopted working from home (WFH).
