I HAVE never seen the site in Farnworth mentioned by Mr G K Brown in his letter in Tuesday's BEN, but I will nominate one in Bolton town centre.

To my own knowledge the corner of Knowsley Street and Bark Street has been blighted by derelict and filthy frontages, some of which were abandoned more than 20 years ago. In the last three or four years it has spread even further along Knowsley Street.

I, too would like to know how much longer we are to put up with this eye-sore. I suppose the usual conspiracy of silence prevails.
