Protect our town centres

Sir, - Nick Day’s suggestion to encourage Next to locate to Dundee’s Wellgate centre (August 22) is an excellent one.

Kirkcaldy High Street has suffered terribly as a result of granting permission to too much out-of-town shopping, including Next.

To encourage people to shop in our town centres, something exciting and new needs to be offered.

What about councils operating a little land train (as already exists for tourists in Broughty Ferry) to take shoppers along pedestrianised streets? This would work particularly well in the Lang Toun and children would love it. Moira Brown. 142 Gray Street, Broughty Ferry.
