DUE to the incompetence of this and previous Government policies, Kington, along with other towns in the county including Hereford, find the traffic problems out of control.

Whilst many new buildings have been added in recent years, little or no account has been taken into parking facilities.

Surely the 'powers that be' should have a modicum of foresight to take into account this very important factor, before embarking on any building programme.

As a Kingtonian, I am convinced that if this problem is not solved promptly Kington could well be at a disadvantage to town traders and all that reside here and the tourist trade in this beautiful area drastically reduced.
