l There has been a brisk response to the Shuttle/Times & News article highlighting the state of Kidderminster this summer.

One group has offered to make a start to cleaning up graffiti across the town and we will be bringing news of the project in the coming weeks.

Other groups wishing to get involved in smartening up the town should contact Shuttle/Times & News editor Clive Joyce on 01562 633337.

Meanwhile, this page features a variety of readers' views about the state of the town and district.

We are delighted the debate is under way.
