In a recent incident at Darent Valley Hospital, an individual attempted to deceive a patient by falsely claiming that payment was required for disabled parking on the hospital premises. The individual falsely claimed that it was no longer free to park in our disabled bays. The victim was then convinced to hand in his bank card. Fortunately, the bank stopped any transaction from taking place.
Please, remember: Disabled Parking is FREE: Darent Valley Hospital would like to emphasise that disabled parking remains free on our premises. Any claims suggesting otherwise are false.
Remain Vigilant: We urge all patients, visitors, and staff members to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity immediately. If you encounter anyone attempting to collect payment for services that are typically free, please do not hesitate to contact the hospital's security officers.
Your cooperation is very important in maintaining the safety and well-being of our community.
