Car Parking at Manor Clinic

There are two car parks at Manor Clinic providing free parking for clients during the duration of their appointment or class. In order to prevent illegal use of the car parks there is an automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) system in operation. This is similar to that used at an increasing number of hospitals and GP surgeries. The system works by recording the number plate of every car entering and exiting the clinic car parks. Clients of the clinic enter their vehicle registration number on a keypad (one will be at reception and the other, for class pupils, outside the studio). This can be done either on arrival or departure and there will be plenty of signage in the clinic to serve as a reminder. Where a visitor using the car parks does not enter their number they will be issued with a ticket. In addition where a vehicle is left in the car park well beyond the time that would normally be expected for an appointment or class then similarly a ticket will be issued. However the system has been set up so that there is sufficient time should a patient arrive early for an appointment or where a practitioner is running late. For those of you simply dropping a patient off at the door a there is a grace period of 10 minutes so that it is not necessary to enter a number in these situations. 
 
Kindly note that, as we have completely outsourced the management of ticketing to Parking Eye, our receptionists have no authority to override the system. The fines are collected by, and are for the benefit of, the car park operating company, not ourselves. However in the event that you are issued with a ticket please contact us to discuss. We are able certify any appeal by a patient who has used the car park correctly so that ultimately they will not have to pay a fine.

In terms of data protection the ANPR system only requires your car registration number. This data is used by Parking Eye to identify your vehicle using DVLC information and the ANPR system is not linked in any way to the personal data you provide to us when you visit the clinic for an appointment or class.  
 
We hope you agree that while requiring a little extra time on your part this should ultimately benefit all clients of the clinic. If you have any concerns please send these to admin@7oaksphysio.co.uk
 
Thank you for your understanding and continued support
