Free parking for NHS and care workers is to come to an end this month.

From June 21, essential workers will have to pay to park on streets and in Wiltshire Council car parks.

This, the council says, is following the publication of the government roadmap for lifting Covid-19 restrictions.

Cabinet member for transport, Dr Mark McClelland said: “We know how important NHS and care workers have been throughout this pandemic, and we have supported their hard work with free parking on streets and in all Wiltshire Council car parks since March 2020.

“This has been a difficult decision, but as we look to take the next step on the government’s roadmap in June, in line with national policy, free parking for NHS and care workers will end on June 21.

“I’d like to pay tribute to all key workers across Wiltshire and beyond who have done such a wonderful job to help us all during the past 15 months.”
