SIR: May I ask Cllr C Adams are we having Christmas Trees up again on Market Street, Farnworth and does reader Glenys Newsham still think Market Street looks like tinsel town.

It is not much use having a town looking nice for a period of six to eight weeks, when the rest of the year Farnworth is a laughing stock, as we still have trees up from last year. Or do they intend to try to decorate them and give everyone a bigger laugh.

Also why doesn't Cllr Adams come and look at Maxton House now with its new windows. All it needs now is a coat of paint on the doors and anyone would be proud to move into it. Stop pulling our town down.

Remember it's John Major's lot who say what the councillors and people get or can spend, they do the capping.

Mrs B Berry, Dyson Close, Farnworth
