Staff & authorized visitors parking at The Meriden Hospital
The Meriden Hospital Private Car Park is a reserved surface facility exclusively for hospital staff and authorized visitors, offering 120 bays including ten disabled spaces located closest to the hospital entrance. Entry is controlled by RFID access cards issued to hospital personnel; casual visitor parking is coordinated through the hospital reception desk which issues day permits. The lot operates 24/7, with high-mast LED floodlighting providing illumination, and a network of four CCTV cameras covers entry, exit, and pedestrian pathways. The tarmac surface is graded toward side drains, with maintenance inspections every quarter and minor repairs completed within 48 hours. Pedestrian egress leads directly to hospital main doors (1-minute walk), with an internal walkway to A&E (2 minutes). No public or commercial parking is permitted; enforcement ensures only authorized vehicles remain. Two Type 2 EV charging stations are provided for hospital electric fleet vehicles and staff use, managed via an internal booking system. Biweekly litter removal and perimeter hedge trimming maintain site cleanliness.
