People visiting loved ones who will be in hospital over the Christmas period will be able to park for free on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day. Charges will be dropped at Peterborough City and Hinchingbrooke Hospitals for the three days to make it easier for visitors to pop in to see patients to bring a little festive cheer.  

Jo Bennis, Chief Nurse at North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust, which runs Peterborough City and Hinchingbrooke Hospitals, said: “We wanted to make it as easy as possible for people to visit over Christmas. Having a loved one in hospital over the festive period is hard enough and we hope that this gesture eases that burden.  

“I would, however, like to remind people not to visit hospital if they are unwell themselves. This helps us protect our patients from viruses such as flu and norovirus which are much more easily spread at this time of year and are particularly prevalent out in the community this year.”
