I AM relatively new to Studley (13 years) compared to my husband, who has lived here for 30 years.

However, in response to your article "Sad and neglected" (Advertiser, September 14), both of us can only agree.

The list of what Studley does not need could no doubt start with heavy traffic, leading to business owners who have homes elsewhere.

As regards the Co-op, a few of us think it is better looking than when it was the Pioneer, if not all the regular shoppers.
