SIR: I agree with Mrs E M Smith regarding the Higher Halliwell Conservation area. Some of the money that was available to spend on Halliwell ought to have been used to preserve the character of this part of Halliwell, but it was totally ignored.

The residents of Cobden Street are currently opposing plans for four houses to be built in the middle of our street, which would be completely out of character with our well kept old houses. But at the end of the day who will win?

Mrs F Grundy, Cobden Street, Halliwell.
