SIR - It is sad to hear that HMV is in difficulties. The Bradford branch has only been located in the Broadway a very short time, having not been there from the opening of the shopping centre. Now, it appears uncertain whether this store and others up and down the country have a future.

A lot of young people have no interest in buying physical copies of films and music, yet there is a determined number of people who still want to do this. But, will it be enough to save a shop that has given much pleasure and joy over the years. I and many others are hoping it is not the end of the road for HMV. It has survived difficulties before - hopefully a way forward will be found again.
