IS there a town or city where people voice as much negativity as St Helens?


Yes, the town has it faults but it has a lot more going for it than some other places. 


A great sense of community and heritage, a thriving sports scene, improving arts and a strong voluntary sector are just some of the positives. We also have some excellent businesses.


Maybe the schools should focus a lot more on celebrating local history and civic pride. A bit more optimism wouldn’t go amiss in 2017.
