DAVID Lock claims in the Shuttle of August 31, than an agreement between him and officers to provide parking for the disabled in Church Street, Kidderminster, was overturned by councillors on the local highways forum.

In fact there was no such agreement. The request subsequently put to the forum was for reserved highways parking for the customers of a single business.

The officer advice, which was unanimously accepted by the forum, was to reject the proposal as impractical as we have no means of reserving highways parking spaces for any single business.

Many businesses in the area have arranged reserved parking for their clients in the private car park at the top of Church Street.

We will, of course, certainly keep the situation under review.
