WHAT has happened to the old town?
I have lived in Runcorn for the best part of my life and I have witnessed the old town deteriorate.
I am aware that many people have written about this saddening issue.
It has infuriated me that a new takeaway has now opened bringing the shocking total of takeaways in the old town to 19!
For such a small town that has three major streets I find this ridiculous.
I am concerned about how all the 19 takeaways can stay in business - are we missing something here?
In an age where obesity is becoming an epidemic surely it's the responsibility of our council to replace some of the takeaways with fresh food family stores.
Come on Halton Council, wake up.
