The houses are nice. We have panoramic views over the Cheshire Plains, round to the West Pennine Moors, that are second to none.
We have three golf courses within easy walking distance. Three picturesque parks, Longsight, Leverhulme and joining up the two, the lovely Lever Acre Country Park. What more could we want?
We don't need 'show houses' on Long Lane. Our houses are fine. It's the rubbish you allow to live in them.
Most tenants are decent folk who want to get on with their lives, without the threat from druggies, burglars, ghetto blasters and the other assorted riff-raff who couldn't give a toss about their neighbours.
Root out these rotten apples that are destroying our town.
It's up to you Cllr Spencer. You have the power.
