WITH regard to your report item about the Abingdon Health Centre car park in Marcham Road (April 17), I am a registered patient at the health centre and, until the barrier was put up, there were many times when I had an appointment, but there were no spaces in the car park, although the waiting room was sometimes only half full.

I for one am very pleased that the barrier is up. Now genuine health centre patients can visit without having to worry where they can park.
