THURROCK Council Leader Terry Hipsey won the backing of fellow councillors for his call for hospital parking charges to be scrapped at a full council meeting last night.
When the Welsh Assembly announced that free parking would be offered in almost all NHS hospitals in Wales it prompted Thurrock residents to ask for the Leader to support their demand for the charges to be abolished.
Coun Hipsey supported the residents’ call for an end to “unacceptable and unfair” charges that patients visiting Basildon Hospital are forced to pay to park their car and earlier this year he criticised them as "a tax for the sick".
