Parking Totally Unsuitable At New Hospital ……..

Parking and traffic flow have emerged as major concerns for the community in the redevelopment of the Wagga Base Hospital
Dr McGirr said “Many electors in the community have approached me with serious concerns on this issue”.
“People tell me that the parking situation at the hospital now is appalling and they do not see how a redevelopment on site will come even close to fixing it,” Dr McGirr said.
The plans for the onsite renovation of the hospital include provision for over 500 parking spaces, which planners believe will be enough.
“The community remains unconvinced says” Dr McGirr
“We need more information about what will be done to ease the congestion and create a positive flow of inbound and ourt bound traffic. This will need to be done while the building work is going on over the next four years,” Dr McGirr said.
Parking is vital for patients, staff ,friends friends and relatives.
“Too many parking tickets are now being issued to staff and patients” Dr McGirr said.
“People need the support of their family and friends at a time of sickness and high emotion. They do not need their family and friends circling the hospital looking for a park instead supporting them.”
“ I remain resolute that a new hospital with appropriate car parking provision needs to be completed in the first four years of which ever major party gets in."
