NHS Grampian has been urged to take action over staff parking space at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.
During the pandemic, medical workers were temporarily allowed to park in the top three floors of the Lady Wood multi-storey car park.
But the original planning consent for the car park stated it was only for patients and visitors to Foresterhill Health Campus.
The Press & Journal says Unison has now has launched a petition urging NHS Grampian to request a change of planning permission allowing staff to continue parking there.
It comes after the union conducted a survey following rumours the multi-storey facility was to be revoked.
There were 700 responses to the study, which Unison has fed back to NHS Grampian to show there will be "massive implications" on workers.
Spaces not guaranteed
While parking permits at ARI are available to a limited number of staff, spaces aren't guaranteed.
Additionally, workers using nearby streets to park has become a bone of contention with neighbours.
The NHS has now started its own survey of staff looking at the parking-permit system.
However, Unison regional organiser Simon Watson says it is not enough to change the permit system - and doesn't solve the problem of a lack of spaces on site.
A spokeswoman for the health board stressed that workers being allowed to park in the multi-storey is a continuation of a "temporary" measure brought in during the pandemic to reduce the use of public transport and car sharing.
Important issue
She added: "We know car parking at Foresterhill is an important issue for staff. We are currently running a survey, asking people who work on the site for their views on options to manage staff car parking in the future.
"Once this closes, we will carefully consider all the submissions before making a decision on the next steps."
