AS a customer of Miller's Tyres in Edith Walk, I feel the company is being subjected to snobbish persecution by Malvern Hills District Council.

I have no connection with the firm, but have found it over the last 13 years to be reliable, efficient, helpful, cheerful and honest. Its building may not be the most trendy in the town, but it is surrounded by the backs of buildings equally lacking in high architectural merit.

If the council plans that the land on which Miller's stands is to be redeveloped, what plans does it have for the car park between it and Somerfield, or for the backs of the shops on Church Street?

Whenever I go to Miller's to buy tyres, while they are fitting my tyres, I spend the time browsing the other shops in town, as I suppose do most of its other customers.

Moving Miller's from Edith Walk would certainly result in me and many others spending less time shopping in the town centre then we do now.
