Dear Patients.
This week, University Hospitals Dorset (UHD), who own the land on which The Grove Surgery is based, along with SABA Parking, introduced charges for patient and visitor parking in the car park.
Unfortunately, we received very limited notice of this change and were not given the opportunity to inform you in advance. We understand this may cause frustration and inconvenience, and we are actively working with UHD to find a solution.
Car Park A now allows 20 minutes of free parking, after which a charge of £2.70 applies for up to 2 hours parking, the exception to this are Blue Badge holders who can park free of charge providing a valid Blue Badge is displayed in the front windscreen.
Please be aware that Surgery staff are unable to override or extend this limit, so we strongly advise planning your visit accordingly to avoid charges.
Alternatively, there is free parking available on some of the surrounding roads, just a short walk from the Surgery.
We are currently in discussions with UHD about securing an extended period of free parking for patients attending appointments and will update you as soon as we have more information.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
The Grove Surgery
