I LIVE in a satellite village to Hereford and often would like to visit our city, but when I try to think where to park I have to conclude that I will go somewhere else.

Recently, I parked in the Tesco car park and inadvertently overstayed a few minutes, for which I was billed £70 Often I go to Malvern shopping village instead as the parking is free.

This is what Hereford needs to be able to bring any large number of visitors in from the villages.

OTHER LETTERS:

There is no point in spending millions on a city centre where no one can park sensibly.

I recently had to spend £20 in Waitrose to park and the barrier machine didn’t work on my ticket – luckily, stewards helped me to get out but once again it was another reason to visit another place instead.

I am frustrated that Hereford is so tied up with a bundle of expensive and inhospitable parking. We need solutions to this before any shopping centre can flourish.
