Sad to read Frank Hargreaves’ newsagent shop getting torched. My Dad used to take our kids there to buy their sweets when he was alive. Kev's Echo link mentions that just the Post Office remains on that block next to Shard Close, but the Red Rum is still serving pints as well. I think the snooker club is still going. That side of Stonebridge Lane is a tip and there are some ****heads living over there. Yet on the other side around Stonedale Crescent they're a cracking bunch of people and hardly any problems at all around there.

Since this was announced Cockerham Way has been demolished and an empty row of houses in Preesal Way has gone.The remaining residents should be on the move soon and then the lot can then be demolished,our image will benefit from this with it being a main gateway into the city.

I've notice 3 ghost towns over the weekend. A big part of Crocky seems boarded up and ready to go, Gillmoss of course too and flats near to the Buckley Hill fire station/cabbage pub.

All the maisonettes in Belle Vale are being demolished as well.The 3 blocks of flats on the lancs (Altbridge Park) are empty and awaiting demolition as is the block of flats on Lowerhouse Lane (Langholme Heights).
