Barlow Medical Centre provides car parking facilities to support access for patients, staff and emergency services.
Parking management on the practice car park, including the use of Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology, is carried out by Northwest Parking Management Ltd, who operate and enforce the parking system on this site.
Northwest Parking Management Ltd is the Data Controller for any personal data collected in connection with car park monitoring, permit management and parking enforcement. This includes vehicle registration numbers and, where applicable, registered keeper details obtained from the DVLA.
Barlow Medical Centre does not access, store or control ANPR or parking enforcement data.
Barlow Medical Centre does not receive any financial benefit, commission, or income from the ANPR parking management system. The system is in place solely to ensure that parking spaces remain available for patients and visitors who need to access our services.
Unfortunately, our car park has previously been used by individuals who are not visiting the medical centre, including people attending the neighbouring school. This can reduce the number of spaces available for patients, many of whom may have mobility issues, urgent healthcare appointments or emergency services.
For information about how parking-related personal data is used, retained and your data protection rights, please refer to Northwest Parking Management Ltd’s Privacy Notice, which is available via car park signage or directly from Northwest Parking Management Ltd.
Any queries, complaints or data protection requests relating to parking charges or car park data should be directed to Northwest Parking Management Ltd, not the GP practice.
To avoid receiving a parking charge, all patients and visitors must enter their vehicle registration number at the front desk upon arrival.
This applies to – Patients attending appointments at the Medical Centre and Patients and visitors collecting prescriptions from the Pharmacy.
