From Monday 1 May, changes will be made to the hourly parking fee options for patient and visitor car parks at North Devon District Hospital (NDDH).
We have reviewed our parking fees in order to bring our charging approach in line with other hospitals in the South West and to ensure that we can cover the cost of parking provision, which includes security, parking management and car park maintenance. Any additional income received contributes to patient care.
The changes have been made in line with British Parking Association guidance and local council tariffs – and North Devon District Hospital’s parking fees remain the lowest at hospitals in the South West.
Information about the new fees at NDDH is included below, as well as details about our fees at our other larger sites.
