HOSPITAL bosses could bring in almost £1 million extra in the next year on the back of a big increase in car parking charges, a Freedom of Information request has revealed.

Data released by United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust (ULHT) shows that the body is expected to make £2,060,879 in revenue in the 2025/26 financial year from its car parks in Boston, Grantham and Lincoln.

This is up from a total of £1,159,452 in the year 2024/25 from the trust's three hospital car parks - a rise of 78 per cent.

The hospital trust said it is forecast to generate £277,297 at its Grantham car park, £1,116,577 in revenue at the Lincoln car park and £667,005 in Boston in the next year.
