PROVISIONS have been made across Dorset to enable NHS workers and care home staff to park for free throughout the lockdown. BCP Council is operating its critical worker scheme, which means all those with valid health exemption permits – including NHS, health and social care workers – can park for free while in residents only bays while carrying out their duties. The council is also operating a fixed workplace scheme, which offers a nominated BCP Council parking space, free of charge and with no time limit, for health workers. Health workers need to apply and are able to nominate up to three fixed workplaces.
