New Cross Hospital's parking fees causing chaos on roads
Angry residents living near Wolverhampton's New Cross Hospital say controversial parking charges for staff are causing chaos on nearby roads.
Workers at the hospital now have to fork out up to £5 a week or £21 a month to leave their cars on-site during their shifts. The new charges started this week and staff had previously been allowed to park for free. The changes have sparked anger from residents who claim the roads are already blocked with visitors leaving their cars to avoid the parking fees.
Mark Eccleston, who is retired and 72, and has lived in Coronation Road for the last 40 years said parking has got much worse in the last couple of years.
He said: "People need to use their loaf a bit more.
"They park sometimes that you can't get out of your own driveway.
