This information is for patients of Hatherton Medical Centre

An Automatic Number Plate Registration (ANPR) system has now been installed on the car park at Hatherton Medical Centre.

The owners of the building have installed this system via a third party company UK Car Park Management Limited, as per the stipulations of the planning conditions from Walsall Council.

This will be active from Monday 4th March 2024

There will also be warden patrols to make sure that parking spaces are used appropriately.

If your car is parked inappropriately, you will receive a fixed penalty notice.

Please note the practice is not responsible for any fixed penalty notices. The ANPR system is not controlled by the practice, and we cannot override these fines.

Please do not:

  • Use a disabled parking space if you do not have a Blue Badge
  • Use an electric vehicle parking space if you are not charging an electric car
  • Use the designated ambulance space (marked with a yellow grid)
  • Park your car outside the marked parking bay, on roadways / yellow lines / paved / hatched or landscaped areas

What you need to do

When visiting the practice, you must type in your car’s registration number on one of the tablets in reception.

If you do not register your car within 15 minutes, you will receive a fixed penalty notice from UK Car Park Management Limited.

How to use the car registration screen

  • Touch the screen to start
  • Type in your car’s registration number, then press the “ACCEPT >” button
  • Check that you’ve typed it in correctly
    • If it is right, touch the “CONFIRM” button
    • If you’ve made a mistake, touch the “BACK” button to type it in again
  • Touch the screen one more time to complete the registration

How long can I leave my car on the car park?

If you register your car registration number, you can leave your car on the car park for up to 90 minutes.

If you visit the practice more than once in the same day, you will need to type in your car registration number for each visit to the practice.

Please make sure that you do not spend longer than 90 minutes with each visit. You will receive a fixed penalty notice.

Non-urgent advice: If your visit is less than 15 minutes

You will not need to register your car if your visit is less than 15 minutes.

Please make sure that you do not spend longer than 15 minutes without registering your car. You will receive a fixed penalty notice

What if I accidentally type my car registration number wrong?

If you make a mistake when typing in your car registration number, you will receive a fixed penalty notice.
