People at Derriford yes you do a great job and I understand your feelings however so many people are in retail live miles out and have no access or transport and if they do spend a lot to get to work and if they have a car ,car parks and park and ride are more expensive so stop bleating and deal with it

#182: -  That's a bit of a harsh statement. I'm unsure as to your understanding of the issues here; I understand there are about 6500 employees at Derriford. About 1000 staff parking spaces that are in active use are to be removed by June, and the cost of parking is to go up for staff by 105% - not only are staff aggrieved at the enforced increase, but there is genuine concern at the loss of so much parking capacity. If you thought your journey to retail was difficult, how much worse will it be when this kicks in? Derriford staff do a fantastic job, they are a specialist centre for so many different procedures that saves lives all day every day and the Westcountry could not cope without them.
