IN recent years, Worcester has lost its half marathon and Carnival, and gained a shopping centre that is all over the place, half of which - for some people - is an unbearably long walk from the two multi-storey car parks.

The CrownGate should have been all under one roof and the sad excuse for a market should be back in the Angel Mall. At the moment, it's just a few stands thrown together.

As for the proposed new use for the Angel Mall, we do not need another restaurant. Worcester has a lot of potential. Let us use it.
