Thurrock Council Leader Terry Hipsey will be calling on fellow councillors to back his call for hospital parking charges to be scrapped at Thurrock Council's next meeting this Wednesday.
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.
Councillor Hipsey has 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".
He said: "First Wales and now Scotland have announced parking fees were to be abolished for NHS hospitals. I will be calling for my fellow councillors to support my call for parking charges at Basildon Hospital to be scrapped."
