Parking plan is a flawed idea
I READ with horror the plan to use automatic number plate recognition technology to enforce parking charges, Guardian October 1. While there is little doubt that the spaces at the hospital are open to abuse, the use of ANPR, in partnership with “private parking companies”, is a fundamentally flawed business model.
Perhaps I should leave the last words to Laura Keely of MacMillan Cancer Support, who said “Extortionate parking charges are leaving cancer patients in desperate financial situations”.
