Talk:Hindley, Greater Manchester

Social regeneration issues
I've removed the following section from the article because without supporting references it a statement of POV. The topic seems notable and worthy of inclusion if someone can come up with references and a neutral presentation.


 * There are areas of long term blight that residents would like to see improved - they receive no support from the local authorities.
 * Derelict buildings on Bridge Street, some empty for over 20 years, need to be compulsory purchased and demolished as they are unattractive and become a haven for fly posting, which detracts from the efforts to regenerate the town.
 * The Borsdane Shopping precinct on the Castle Hill estate has been a blight on the area for over 30 years and despite promises from the local MP and the Labour Council still remains in existence and a danger to the public.
 * There are few facilities in the local park compared to other areas of the Borough.
 * There remain no integrated transport links with the local station - most travellers are faced with a walk of half a mile from the town.
 * Travelling through Hindley by car can be a problem with long delays and traffic jams. The local council's recent "improvements" have made the problem worse.
