New Cross Hospital has spent almost £100,000 renting extra parking spaces for staff in the past four years because of a lack of spaces on site, it was revealed today.

Chiefs shelled out £99,903 to use spaces at the nearby Prestwood Arms car park from January to November 2009, the Village Inn from April 2010 to March last year, and a private car park for Newhall Farm on Wednesfield Road, for the past 18 months.
The spending was needed to make up the 1,900 spaces needed for staff working at the site.
It comes as a planning application was submitted by the owners of the Wednesfield Road hospital site to allow the continued use of its 98 parking spaces for hospital workers.
