The weakest link?

I have called for this dingy alleyway between Dorothy Perkins and W.H.Smith to be closed off, with fire escape doors as necessary. It is an eyesore that the council do not own and therefore have not the responsibility to clean. Central Walk and the Market Thoroughfare are sufficient to take "link" traffic until such time as there is any further development of the area. This blot on the landscape should really be obscured from the view of townsfolk and visitors.
