Any queries concerning the issuing of the permit should be directed to the NHS via cft.travel@nhs.net as Cornwall Council are unable to provide approval for permits. Geoff Brown, Cornwall Council’s portfolio holder for transport, said: “We said that we wanted to put in place a scheme for NHS clinical community workers to be able to park close to the homes of their patients and we’re now able to make good on that commitment. It can be an issue for them to find a parking space close to the home of a resident they are visiting to deliver health care. This scheme means that they can apply for a permit which will let them park on street for a limited time, even where there are single or double yellow lines.”
