LETTER: We have been forgotten in Nelson regeneration
Over recent years, it has become increasingly difficult to attract customers to this section of Scotland Road and though we had some hope in an improvement in trade, we feel justified in saying all the planning and money spent on this refurbishment has done absolutely nothing for this section of Scotland Road. We feel strongly that, despite the short walk, we are still very much part of the town centre.

We have scruffy old benches that need attention.
