FURTHER to letters on parking charges, will patients of Cinderford Health Centre continue to enjoy free parking at the Co-op car park with sufficient time to visit the pharmacy there, yet those patients of Coleford Medical Centre be faced with parking charges of at least 40p?

As few of us are clairvoyant, there will be much clock-watching and taking into consideration a visit to the pharmacy, it seems a visit to the nurse or doctor will mean a 70p charge.

At least where shopping is concerned we can choose to go elsewhere but perhaps our council is counting on a steady income from the sick in Coleford.

On the subject of parking, it is now proven that the Main Place was built with totally inadequate parking facilities to support any "main" use by those unfortunate enough not to be able to walk any distance.
