We're all aware of the boarded-up windows, the litany of charity and pound shops and the growth of tumbleweed blowing through many of our towns and cities, and judging by your calls on today's today's Morning Extra, you want something done about it. But what exactly?

Glasgow City Council says its taking a to out-of-town developments, so should other councils follow suit?

The other way of tackling the problem - if indeed you do see the dominanation of peripheral retail parks a problem - is to rethink our town centres. If we can't attract the big retailers, should we see them less as shopping centres and more as cultural meccas?
