However, despite the difficult trading conditions Q-Park have been eager to provide any assistance in can throughout COVID-19, whether it be discounted parking for healthcare staff and other keyworkers or the use of Q-Park facilities to help increase the capacity of the healthcare network when it is under significant strain.
