CAR parking charges are to be reintroduced at two hospitals after a pause during the pandemic.

The Herefordshire and Worcestershire Health and Care NHS Trust said that people parking at Malvern Community Hospital and the Princess of Wales Community Hospital in Bromsgrove will pay parking charges from Monday, October 14.

The trust said that charges will apply to patients and visitors.

This comes after car parking charges were paused at both hospitals during the covid-19 pandemic.

Though stays of up to 30 minutes will be free at both hospitals, parking for up to two hours will cost drivers £2.50, up to four hours will cost £3.50 and stays for longer than four hours will cost £4.

Parking for blue badge holders in designated spaces will remain free.
