SIR: I don't usually agree with Christine Adams, that fanatical Tory who seems to be on your staff the times she is in your paper, but this time I do!
Farnworth is very ill-served by its MPs and councillors. It is like the Third World and getting ever more shabby and run down.
The contents of the Library are a joke, especially daily papers; the bus station, filled with fumes and pollution from stationary buses still with engines running; letters to MPs and councillors are just ignored or not answered - so much for democracy!
Youths roam around vandalising property and cars, and the police seem non-existent.
Yes, Farnworth is very neglected and ill-served.
J Ball, Piggot Street, Farnworth
