WARRINGTON Hospital’s current car parking policy is certainly causing a lot of stress and anxiety for visitors – with large numbers being fined – some even after they have paid.
The current camera technology seems to be less than perfect.
I am not sure why the previous system had to be changed, with many “victims” claiming a predatory system aimed purely at income generation.
I have called on hospital Chief Executive Mel Pickup to review the charging policy and will continue to do so until a fair system is in place.
The hospital is at the heart of our community and a place where people often visit poorly and sometimes dying loved ones.
The last thing they need during their times of anxiety and grief is a £75 parking fine landing in the post!
Meanwhile Warrington Wolves’ decision to launch a new brand has received a mixed response across the community.
The decision to reintroduce the old nickname the Wire, is hardly earth shattering, as to us dyed in the wool supporters it had never really gone away.
But the new logo and #HardWired tag line seems to have really generated a mixed response.
Personally I preferred the old logo as it packed more bite – and it would have been quite easy to add The Wire to it, if it was felt important to re-establish the club’s link with the past.
New brands come and go with lots of sporting organisations – but at the end of the day the most important thing is results on the pitch.
Warrington Wolves are just 80 minutes away from another Wembley appearance when they take on Hull KR on August 1 – if they win that game I am sure the controversy of the new branding will soon become a distant memory for many.
Good luck from the team at warrington-worldwide.
