TO use the site of the existing Cottage Hospital in Ledbury as a coach park (Ledbury Reporter, October 13) is a ludicrous suggestion for the Herefordshire Unitary Development Plan. The Cottage Hospital is an attractive Victorian building that could be used as an arts/literary centre or possibly a new home for Ledbury Library, but whatever its future after the new hospital is built, it should not be deleted from the townscape after such a distinguished career.
