A HEREFORDSHIRE woman has been left unable to see her husband's grave as she blames businesses for leaving her without a car parking space.
Sally Jones, who is from Lancaster but now lives in Leominster, has found in recent months when she has tried to visit her husband, who is buried at Leominster Cemetery, in Southern Avenue, that the car park is full.
It fits 12 cars and is described as "small" by Ms Jones.
There have been many times when she has not been able to visit her husband's grave due to lack of parking spaces.

There have also been other users who have had the same issue, she said.
An 80-year-old man had to drive back and forth twice before he could park to see his wife who is also buried in the cemetery, said Ms Jones.
Ms Jones claims she has seen staff members from businesses parking and getting out of their cars.

She believes as the cemetery is closer to the businesses this had led employees to park in there, as the businesses have always been there, but the parking has only become a recent issue.
She has approached Herefordshire Council and Leominster Town Council about the issue, but nothing has happened to resolve the issue yet.
We have approached the council for comments.
