'Big hugs' note left for 'fantastic' ambulance service

West Midlands Ambulance Service said "it's always nice to get a thank you"

A handwritten note with "big hugs" for the ambulance service was left on a vehicle for paramedics.

Two ambulance workers found the note, which said they do "fantastic work", in Uttoxeter, Staffordshire.

It comes after a series of less than pleasant notes have been left on emergency vehicles, with one woman even being arrested after leaving an abusive note on an ambulance.

West Midlands Ambulance Service said: "We really do appreciate it."
