MAY I use your paper to say thank-you to the shops and restaurants in Kiddermin-ster for their service.

My wife and I used to enjoy shopping in Kidderminster and stopping for lunch.

Unfortunately, being from out of town and unaware of the new restrictions, we fell foul of the imposition of the two-hour parking in the retail park by Sainsbury's.

The £60 fine make shopping in your town less attractive.

The pay and display car parks are also unattractive in that we are shopping or eating with one eye on the clock.

It is therefore with some regret that we will be returning to Merry Hill or going to other towns where the parking is either free or less restrictive.
