Parking at Tessa Jowell Health Centre

[dds29]

Can anyone tell me when the overkill of Eurocarpark signs went up outside the Centre? I saw them for the first time mid October.

[trinidad]

out of interest, what are the rules for parking at the health centre?

[pecksniff]

I think there is free parking for 2 hours but need to enter registration details in machines near reception.

[trinidad]

ok thank you, i hope I never have to go there, but if I do, its handy to know incase I am too ill to walk

[spark67]

Yes don't forget to register your car, It wasn't that clear to me when I went in and I got a fine, most expensive flu jab ever

[peckhamside]

Surely if you are too ill to walk you would be too ill to drive??

[first mate]

So if someone with a condition like relapsing remitting MS, that precludes a long walk but might allow travel in an automatic car, needed to visit the surgery, would this not be a case where being too ill to walk but not to drive applies?

People who are immunosuppressed or undergoing cancer treatment may feel safer in a car. Many people may have to be driven by a carer, like the elderly. I could go on?!

[Houseoflego]

A lot of conditions leave people disabled but still able to drive. It used to be a common misconception that disability = wheelchair.

[first mate]

Precisely!

[roywj]

Do they have disabled parking at the centre? Do disabled drivers also need to register to avoid a fine?

[Pugwash]

They have disabled parking bays and I would also advise that you register at the reception,
