SIR – Congratulations Marks and Spencer s, you are putting the final nail in the coffin for a store that has been a waste of time for years! For a town the size of Stevenage it is no wonder you do not have enough sales when you do not stock what we want.

I know many people in the area (including staff at the local store!) who resort to driving to Milton Keynes, Cheshunt, Watford, or London Colney for a decent M&S.

We are not a deprived area financially; we are a deprived area of decent stores.

All the big chains that have branches here treat us as second class shoppers!

Filling the store with the rubbish that is not sold elsewhere is hardly solving the problem.
