There have been a number of letters about Southend Hospital charging for parking.

Two years ago I broke my hip and was in hospital for three weeks.

I then had a problem with my other leg, which turned out to be skin cancer.

I have had 18 visits for treatment at Southend Hospital, to different clinics, and I am delighted with every one.

So what is a £2 parking fee compared to the treatment I have received?

What other country offers this service?

Yes, I know we have paid for it all our working lives, but please stop moaning about it and be happy with what you get for your £2 parking ticket.
