WYE Valley Trust has announced parking charges are to be introduced at the county's community hospitals in Bromyard, Leominster and Ross-on-Wye.

We asked those who took part in this week's online poll, at herefordtimes.com, whether they agreed with the decision.

A total of 387 people took part and a majority of 80 per cent said they thought it was unfair to ask unwell people and their families to pay to park at community hospitals.

However 19 per cent said the trust's finances are in a dire state and measures such as this have to be considered. The remaining one per cent did not know either way.
