DERRICK Oliver (You Say, July 2) is entitled to his opinion over Kidderminster Hospital. Fortunately, at least 28,000 of us do not agree with him.

Neither do I agree with his statement that David Lock was arguably the best MP we have had in this constituency.

I had dealings with Anthony Coombs and David Lock. In my opinion, they were both very good MPs who did their best to help you.

It's rather ironic that they both lost their seats because of the policies of the Governments they represented.

At the start of the hospital campaign, David Lock said (before he changed sides) the people of Wyre Forest will not be trodden on. How true.

JOHN NORWOOD, Kidderminster.
