WHEN I saw your front page story about yellow lines in parking bays on Comberton Hill, Kidderminster, I almost looked at the date at the top to see if it was April the first!

Sadly, I realised that this was another example of decisions being made on matters that affect businesses by people that have given no thought to what businesses actually need.

It is this kind of "business blindness" which brings government at all levels into disrepute and which the Chamber of Commerce is constantly campaigning to change.

We will certainly be supporting those local businesses that are calling for urgent action to reverse this ill-thought- out scheme.
