AFTER reading of yet another plot of land being used for building houses, I felt I needed to ask a number of questions.
Yes, it’s admirable that St Helens has another £28million being “injected into the area’s affordable housing portfolio” (Lancots Lane) but what about extra doctors, dentists, schools and hospitals?
Having recently had a family member who spent 16 and a half hours in A&E, things are getting worse.
Not enough dentists - and those we do have currently have long waiting lists
My doctors’ surgery has more than 6,000 patients.
Last Friday, I was 12th in the queue for a doctor’s appointment but there were none left at my surgery.
Schools are already over-subscribed, so what are we offering the people that will come and live in the area?
I would be interested to know what other people think.
Helen Grounds, St Helens
