Through the wonders of the Internet I read a story in your publication about a respite care centre at Marlborough Leisure Centre.

It seems that Kennet District Council will double fees while cutting the hours. Is it any wonder that parents are distressed? I think it is outrageous and wish to support, through your newspaper, the parents involved.

The amounts involved are small compared to the much-needed break that carers need.

I suggest this is a cause worth fighting for.
