It is this spot behind me where this attack happened.

Ashford and St Peter's hospitals trust, which charges

?3.50 for two hours, says it needs to raise

income to "maintain and protect patient care".

But campaigners say it's going to be a huge burden for disabled patients.

Hugh had a driving accident in his 20s.

Ever since he's spent thousands modifying his home

One thing he usually gets for free, though, is parking, but not

at his local hospital from next month.

It just frustrates me that disabled people are going to have to pay

Some beautiful pictures captured by our weather watchers.

But it's all change tonight, from tomorrow, much cooler,

although predominantly dry through this week in the run up

We will start with sunshine, but a cool north-westerly wind.

Cloud bubbling up as we go through the afternoon.

Look at the spreading temperatures compared to what we have seen.
