A HOSPITAL'S plans to charge staff yearly parking fees of up to £100 have come under fire.
Bury's Fairfield Hospital, which wants to introduce the charges, also has plans to introduce pay and display parking for people visiting patients.
A survey by Bury Community Health Council showed more than 89 per cent of people it questioned were against the plans.
Paul Reynolds, chief officer at the community health council, called the charges a "stealth tax."
