Parking at UHL and Surrounding Areas

Parking in Residential Areas

It has been reported that several cars continue to park inappropriately around local housing estates . This is making access and use of the local streets more difficult for residents. We would ask staff to consider the impact this is having on our neighbours and to please park responsibly.

There is parking for staff at three off-site locations with a free shuttle bus from there to UHL. Please utilise this service. See updated bus timetable attached to this email.


 


Alzheimer’s Awareness Stand - UHL

September is World Alzheimer’s Awareness Month. The team in UHL will be hosting an Alzheimer's awareness stand on the OPD corridor UHL from 9am – 1 pm on Monday 23 September.



The theme this year is “Time to Acton Dementia, Time to Act on Alzheimer’s”. The global awareness-raising campaign aims to address the stigma and discrimination that are still associated with dementia, while also focusing on attitudes toward the condition and highlighting the constructive actions that governments and organizations around the world are taking to create a more dementia-friendly society. All are welcome and grab some information that can help your family, friends, and yourselves.
