I have rheumatoid and would be unable to stand for any period if time what would I do I am only able to walk a few yards, disgusted!

Why did the Stagecoach 125 stop taking passengers into Chorley hospital?. This should be reinstated.

Hilda Harkins

Do it all online.. No waiting for a machine.

It's the touch screen that's the problem, make it a keypad or a Mic to enter your reg it'll be a lot quicker

Sharon Reay

It's people not reading what's on the screen that's the problem, the actual machine works fine! Took me the grand total of about 10 seconds to pay for my parking there last Friday, parking which sadly cost me more than it should as the 3 people infront of me managed to take 15 minutes to pay for theirs and refused any offer of help.

Pemberton I'm at Chorley hospital now and the queue's are horrendous

Marie Sousa

People have enough stress going to to these places visiting I’ll family or friends or they are ill themselves. The staff don’t need the stress they have enough to deal with.

New machines are designed to lose parking staff who are being re employed in the portering/ security dept.....Everything new takes time to get used to.....

Miles Salisbury

A lot of the queue will be people who cant use the machine they were bad enough with the old machine I've been behind them in the queue trying to use that old machine and it wasnt a difficult task as you just put your ticket in and pay but some people really struggled with it.

There are no charges in Wales and Scotland, except Glasgow royal and Edinburgh royal all the rest are free parking!
