IN reply to "Driver, Cinderford" I feel I must reply on wheel clamping notices.

These were installed by us having been requested by tenants in the Sue Ryder shop following concerns over windows breakages.

We have seen as many as three vehicles parked, end facing the windows and doors, blocking the whole facade after the shop closed for business.

Signs saying: 'no parking, customers only' were ignored.

Suggesting barriers is not a possibility while rising bollards, while costing possibly thousands of pounds to buy and install, would mean unlocking eight or nine locks, lowering, raising and locking at night six times a week.

Sue Ryder's insurance could increase, reducing funds to their hospices – which I have visited and seen the amazing respite care given in beautiful surroundings.

As a company and a person who lives in Ci derford we feel duty bound to respond to our tenants' needs and concerns, work hard to keep property and the area to a good standard, having invested heavily in refurbishment and maintenance.

We are not in the business of supplying free parking spaces.

There is a car park 20 yards away, free after 6pm – not much further if you are collecting takeaways or shopping.

I think the answer is simple. I have no desire to park on other people's property or in front of driveways out of respect.

Does "Driver, Cinderford" look to park in these areas?
