I found the report about the demolition of Ron Sverdollf's balcony in Old Leigh (Jan 8) good reading.

I am in agreement that no matter what disappointments people have in respect to council decisions that people find a positive way of dealing with the matters.

The community enjoyed a good evening together. Social events which bring fun and laughter to the community, providing nobody is harmed, is a good thing.

Well done to the people of Leigh Old Town.
