Secure staff-only parking with accessible bays, swipe-card access, and 24/7 CCTV at Colchester Hospital.
Staff Car Park on 126 Turner Road is a dedicated facility for hospital employees and authorized contractors at Colchester General Hospital. The lot comprises 250 sealed tarmac bays, including 12 accessible spaces located nearest to the staff entrance of the William Julian Courtyard. Access is controlled via RFID swipe cards issued to hospital staff; no public parking is permitted. High-intensity LED floodlights illuminate all driving lanes from dusk until dawn, and eight CCTV cameras provide continuous 24/7 surveillance to ensure staff safety. Covered pedestrian walkways link the car park directly to the hospitals staff entrance, providing sheltered access between shifts. Covered notice boards display hospital notices, staff bus timetables for the 91 and 92 services to the town centre, and complication guides for hospital parking. Monthly maintenance includes line repainting, pothole repairs, and litter clearance to maintain a clean, professional environment. The car park is adjacent to the hospitals staff canteen and within a one-minute walk to the staff shuttle bus stop.
