WE have been hearing about the plans for the multi-storey car park at Russells Hall since before the hospital was extended (Dudley News, February 28).

As I live in Kingswinford Road, I am all for this proposal and always have been.

But is it actually, finally going to be built?

Why has it taken the powers-that-be so long to sort this mess out?

I just wish the people who make these decisions could spend a day in our lives and see how much inconvenience they have caused by not putting this multi-storey up years ago.

We had to fight tooth and nail to stop double yellow lines lines being put down outside our houses.

But every day between 8.30am and 8pm our road is invaded by hospital staff and visitors looking for free parking.

When we put cones out to try to save a space so that when we had taken our children to school we could park back outside our homes, we were told by the council we were breaking the law.

There is no law for us.

Sometimes I have to park at least six houses away or in another street and carry shopping and children back home.

People park so close to my car they even touch it.

We have appealed to people and put leaflets on their car windows but to no avail - and sometimes we even get abuse.

Our house has been up for sale for two years and even though I am sure it is not just the parking problem, I am sure it has not helped.
