State govt facing pressure to tackle parking woes at Mackay Hospital

A list-snap production.

Hello, I'm Dave Adull and the State Opposition believes the government should be doing more

to tackle the lack of parking at McCuy Bay's hospital.

There are plans to free up 80 additional spots by the end of the year, however, opposition

leaders Stephen Miles reckons that won't make much of a difference.

Of course, any additional parks is welcome, but everyone I talk to in McCuy who's been

to the hospital recently talks about how hard it is to find a park, how much extra time

you need to allow.
