LIKE your recent correspondent I too, on September 22, unwittingly fell foul of the parking restrictions now in force at the Crossley Retail Park, Kidderminster, and am currently in dispute with Excel Parking Services Ltd, the Sheffield firm which manages the car park.

I would be interested to hear from other shoppers who have had the same experience. I can be contacted on 01584 890929.

It amazes me that traders in Kidderminster seem intent on penalising shoppers for spending "too long" in shops and cafes in the town.

I would have thought the aim would be to encourage trips of as long as possible.

I am sure many others, like me, will be crossing off Kidderminster from our Christmas shopping list, in favour of other retail areas which actually seem to want our custom.
