SIR – I cannot believe the comments on the letters page (August 12) ‘Appalled by M&S monstrosity in city’, a letter sent in by Brian Ferris.

Has Mr Ferris been walking around with his eyes closed? Does he know what the frontage of that building looked like before?

After the Woolworths’ fire some years ago the shop front was replaced by some ugly red “chimneys” which were in no way in keeping with the rest of the High Street, so how was that allowed to happen?

Surely Mr Ferris has to agree that what we see now is much better than the eyesore that we had to look at before.

ANN CLARKE,

Worcester.
