SIR, - I along with many others believe that the old Odeon cinema site in London Road, St Albans should be turned back into a cinema for a number of reasons. Those reasons are because a place the size of St Albans easily demands a city-centre cinema. Having a cinema back in the area of London Road would improve the area as it would attract more people to it who otherwise would not go there.

Bearing in mind that St Albans had three cinemas when far fewer people lived there means that we certainly could do with having one cinema now. Therefore I feel that having the Odeon restored would be useful for St Albans as a whole.

PAUL SCOTT,

Brackley, Northants.
