there has to be a reason for it being located in the far corner of the stagecoach car/bus park in pencester road.

Of course there is Howard!
Bit of a puzzle though, which bin is for the ladies and which one's for the gents......they're not marked! Cost cutting again?

They are there just to stop a bus backing into it.

thanks for those informative posts but another question needs to be answered.
why is it that stagecoach entrust their drivers to take us to the far flung corners of our fair land but don't trust them to find the shelter using their own initiative?

I don't think so Victor!
We operate a non-smoking site, so staff have to go off site ... | RoSPA

Yes you are also right but in most places of work it is on site in the yard etc even at Hos / it is outside the doors but in the grounds.Shops etc are like what you have wrote only because most have no yard etc.

Canterbury hospital has no smoking anywhere within their grounds, not just the building Vic. I thought all hospitals were the same.

Margate Hosp says 'no smoking anywhere within grounds of the hospital' but regularly people are smoking outside the main doors.

Yes you are right I see it going on all the time as I am going to both this week I will find out but I think you will find that they can smoke outside the building at a smoking point.

Most hospitals have banned smoking within the grounds, and the cigarette bins are there because they are realistic enough to know that they can't really police a ban on smoking, and it saves having cigarette ends strewn all over the place. (up to a point)

all very true hospitals are rightly no smoking
but people still will around the grounds
no employer HAS to provide a smoking area
just some do

the n.h.s have a very strange attitude, the last time i saw a consultant asked me if i smoked.
being a polite sort of chap i replied "thanks but i have just put one out". very disappointed to say the least with his response.

I was once told by a consultant to cut down on my alcohol intake, just after I'd overheard him discussing with a colleague how a glass or two of wine before a round helped to steady his golf swing.
