Despite previous communication, inappropriate parking at the Practice continues. This is preventing emergency staff and emergency vehicles from accessing the building and blocking vehicles. Do not park on pathways or obstruct access routes. You must use the overflow car park. If this issue persists, parking enforcement measures may be introduced.

Thank you for your understanding.
