[BERNADETTE]

Unfortunately this area of Church has been left to rot IMHO, where once we had a thriving community with local shops to serve the residents now there are very few shops in Church. Maybe some foresight should be given when building flats and sheltered accomodation for the elderly and disabled as to their accessibility to shops and such like. It seems certain areas of Hyndburn can get all the grants going whilst others are just left to fester along with some historic buildings.
