Hundreds of staff at Worcestershire Royal Hospital will be able to park at the County Hall car park.

Worcestershire County Council and the NHS Trust have come to an agreement - securing 354 extra spaces.

It's hoped the move will help reduce congestion at peak times.

A spokesperson for Worcestershire County Council, told us: “The Council has agreed terms with the Worcestershire NHS Acute Hospitals Trust to temporarily make use of car parking on the County Hall site, whilst the decommissioning of County Hall takes place.

"This arrangement supports hospital operations by freeing up visitor parking as hospital staff will use part of the County Hall car park.”

Emma King, Director of Estates and Facilities at Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust, added: "We are delighted to announce we have agreed terms with Worcestershire County Council to secure 354 extra staff car parking spaces in Car Park 1 adjacent to the Countryside centre for staff at Worcestershire Royal Hospital.

"This agreement will help to reduce congestion into and out of the hospital site during peak times."
