RECENTLY, you published my letter complaining about car park fees at Kidderminster Hospital, where a 10- minute free period - not much use to anybody - was followed by a £2 minimum fee.

Although it took nearly 11 weeks to get a response, I am pleased to report that the NHS Trust have now decided to increase the free period to 30 minutes, which will not suit everyone but is better than nothing.
