Parking: Hope rises for parking cure

Parking problems at a Birmingham hospital are to be eased with the introduction of 200 extra parking spaces.
Parking around Good Hope Hospital had become an issue between staff and nearby residents, leading Birmingham City Council to approve the new parking spaces. Good Hope bosses now plan to press ahead with demolishing an office block, redundant residential blocks and the hospital social club to make way for new parking spots.
