That's a tough one to solve.
How about building more car parks!

a shuttle service from the Wroughton Park & Ride would be a useful short-term measure

Car queues at Great Western Hospital is a clear danger. The day After I was informed that an entrance on the slip road would be opened when queues appeared so ambulances could get direct access to the hospital an ambulance with flashing lightscwas stuck in the same queue. Bottom line, the policy of local goverment and the hospital to raise funds through parking is more important than the safety of patients.

Do the car park charges go to the hospital or the Council?

What di you think.

They SOLD the right o collect parking taxes to the council.

They give them pence back, if anything.

I saw the mess that this place has invented, with a queue from just pace The Sun Inn to the entrance drive to GWH and on the opposite side all the way back onto the A419.

You and I couldn't have planed that but that's why the people we do employ are so good at their job and they did it.

Now let me see if I can solve it ???

Sorry I can only come up with: more parking spaces:.
