Booths is cutting free parking at its Fulwood store down to one hour as shoppers find themselves competing with hospital visitors for spaces.
The supermarket opposite Royal Preston Hospital in Sharoe Green Lane currently offers customers two hours free parking, but this will change on July 8. Booths said customers are finding it ‘increasingly difficult’ to find spaces due to hospital visitors using the free car park. From Monday, July 8, free parking will be reduced to one hour but shoppers will have the option to pay for a second hour. Pay machines will be installed on the car park and payment will be made on exit.
The number plate recognition cameras were introduced in 2018 when Booths faced similar problems with demand for spaces at the Fulwood store.
