Sir - A letter in last week's Herald from Bruce Langton highlighted the exorbitant increase in the minimum charge from 20p to 50p in the car park behind Boots.
I urge local shopkeepers to lobby councillors over this inflationary increase as it will certainly result in a loss of business.
Before the increase I would park, and, in the 15 minutes allocated for the 20p charge, I would visit the butcher, baker, greengrocer and paper shop.
Now I drive to Waitrose and park for free.
