I LIVE in London now but return regularly to St Helens and have seen a marked decline already although it’s only two years since I left.

I find it hard to understand how anyone feels any new businesses that choose to invest here is a bad idea, regardless of what they are.

This site has been derelict for years, has been a constant eyesore for residents and to finally see something happening here is amazing.

Global organisations like these don’t invest without first researching what will be following them into the development.

Be excited, be passionate about your town.

Be grateful of the development finally coming together and be hopeful of a brighter future in the area.
