SIR – Regarding your story about traders being angry over Tolladine Road being shut for four months (Worcester News, Friday, June 3). Yes it does make it harder for business and also for anyone using a main artery into Worcester. But, in the case of the gym, the clients pay a joining fee and a debited monthly tariff meaning a profit is still being made regardless of whether the gym is used or not.
