READ with interest the letter concerning "Root out Ragwort".

We live on the Boardman Street Estate, Halliwell, and it is everywhere. The pathways are full of this poisonous plant. Would the council please strim or spray this very dangerous weed? There are a lot of children in the area and the yellow daisy-like flowers attract young fingers. Besides this, the elderly people find them a hazard on the paths, especially the partially sighted. So how about it BMC, or is there "no money in the pot" like always.
