SIR, - I am outraged by the treatment meted out to Dr Christine Voyce (Herts Advertiser, January 29). Why should this presumably-busy doctor be subjected to this Stalin-like inquisition? Instead of having to deal with petty-minded bureaucracy, she should be allowed to pursue her job which, at any moment in time, all members of the public may urgently need.

I am aware that many selfish, conniving people do abuse the increasingly-authoritarian parking restrictions. However I think that this blue-clothed organisation should be trained in common sense and their managers likewise.

Please can our St Albans District Councillors see to this matter. Does anyone else agree?

CAROLINE WOPSHOTT,

Cunningham Hill Road, St Albans.
