REGARDING the letter from the prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Bolton South-east (August 23).

Farnworth has not been forgotten by the council or by Dr Brian Iddon MP.

There is work to be done, but money has been invested and funds applied for from a European fund for regeneration.

The letter contains vague generalisations and inaccuracies and is a thinly-veiled dig at Brian Iddon.

Dr Iddon is an honourable man and a committed MP who works tirelessly for all areas of his constituency.

Surely, if we have the welfare of the community in mind, we should welcome any attempt to listen instead of damaging its chances of success for the sake of scoring points from an excellent MP.
