I have parking spaces all over Gwent at places everywhere from brecon beacons to middle of newport. All free and paid for as a Welsh Water employee.

Nope - but the office is in a location with no public transport to speak of so everyone has to drive in. Recently I've been working from home for a bit which is even cheaper.

Nada. Zero. Zilch.

They even give me petrol money to get to work, I feel awfully smug when I take the push bike

Andy
I thought all hospitals (in England) charged staff to park, i work in Ipswich Hospital & they've been charging for years to park a car there, it's currently £1.00 a day or a bit cheaper than that if you pay monthly straight from your wages, if you pay straight from your wages however you still pay if you are off sick or on A/L, so for me i'd have to pay for 33 days for nothing when i'm on holiday for a start & like you say there is no guarantee of a space & they accept no liability for any damage that may get done, as yet bikes are still free hence me using mine every day.
