Dear Patients.
University Hospitals Dorset (UHD), who own the land on which The Grove Surgery is based, along with SABA Parking, have introduced charges for patient and visitor parking in selective car parks. 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.
Following discussions with UHD we are pleased to announce that Grove Surgery Patients have free parking in Car Park F (opposite the Care Home), for up to one hour, with the spaces clearly defined for patient parking. Furthermore, the ‘Drop-off and Pick up Only’ designated areas allow a maximum stay of 20 minutes free.
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. There is also additional parking for Blue Badge holders past the Grove Pharmacy.
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.
Thank you for your understanding.
The Grove Surgery
