I THANK Les Hayes for pointing out the mess that is Chorley New Rd, Horwich, the Greenwood pub and Armstrongs.

I live facing Armstrongs and the road is absolutely filthy with the dust coming off the tip at Armstrongs.

Our cars have to be washed twice weekly and our carpets and windows have to be cleaned frequently.

The stench from Armstrongs when it is hot is horrendous, we cannot barbeque in the gardens due to this as no one would sit out and have to put up with that smell.

I have asthma myself and the neighbours have been ill with chest infections, no doubt due to all this.

I have reported it to Bolton Council and the environment department and no one has done anything about it so far.

A site like that should not be allowed near to schools and housing, something should be done.
