I AGREE Blackwell Street in Kidderminster is in need of a revival (Revival is under way, Shuttle/Times & News, June 15), but let's start with Towers Buildings.

I live directly opposite it and can see the broken windows and facades.

There was talk once of turning the top floor into flats. Surely if that happened the revenue would help to pay for the cleaning and renovating of what was once thought of as a lovely building. Then there is the old telephone exchange and Brookes' Yard - what an eyesore. It is another building that has been left to decay.

Come on, Wyre Forest District Council, see if you can't get something started and make Blackwell Street the wonderful shopping street it used to be on either side of the Second World War.
