SIR - A little while ago you published an artists impression of a new shopping development at the end of the High Street.

My thoughts regarding the development were echoed by your contributor Andy R 'Yet another move towards making Worcester the empty shop unit capital'.

Years ago people lived in the city. Would this be feasible again and instead of shops places to live.

Big names in the High Street will be very pleased to take up outlets as long as their accounts show good returns but if not, Worcester will have yet more empty shops.

People continue to buy groceries, clothes so why are shops putting up the shutters, are shops becoming out of date.

Make way for on line shopping for the new generation.
