Raymond Morris, who was attending Ross Community Hospital this morning, Monday, December 11th, was flabbergasted to see the state of the paths and car park when he arrived. Mr Morris told the Ross Gazette, "I had to help push two cars out".

He said, "I am surprised the Doctors have not complained, it is really dangerous, the roads and paths are terrible and they are freezing again so will get even worse."

He added, "I am annoyed that we have to pay to park, but not getting any service, but worse is the danger factor, I am flabbergasted it has not been cleared."

An appeal for volunteers to help clear the paths around the hospital was launched on The Ross-on Wye Noticeboard Facebook page and the Gazette contacted the Wye Valley Trust for a statement.
