IN response to the story about land potentially being released from the green belt for development.


The fact is St Helens is dying due to lack of investment in industry and jobs.


The town needs to corner a market in something and hopefully tap into the regeneration of the docks in Liverpool.


Storage and transport seem to be a good link into that.


Hopefully that will attract other industry due to the improved transport links and storage. Warrington sacrificed swathes of land in the eighties and nineties and look how that town has grown.


I know it’s not very nice for the people living in those areas and I am sure I would be aggrieved if it was me.


But the fact remains unless something is done in the town then St Helens will become just another derelict satellite area of Liverpool. I don’t want that for a once proud industrial giant of a town.
