moved into the new apartments at wigan pier 12 months ago at first it was nice and quiet had to be working BUT now just to fill the rest of the apartments they have to go and let DOLEY'S in and they are spoiling it rapidly drunk every other night running along corriders, loud music at weekends, half eaten burgers and chips thrown in the stairways where do these DOLE SCUM come from ...GO BACK TO UR COUNCIL ESTATE!!! these flats are no longer the pride of trencherfield anybody whos working thinking of living ere... DONT !!!

Did you have to buy it or do you just rent it

I remember the little housing development off Ince Green Lane (back of where the clinic was) a couple bought one thinking it would be a nice place to live, the developers couldn't sell any more so sold them on to the council, and what did the council go and do - move all the nocturnal Durham Street lot down there. The couple was livid and they couldn't sell up and move so had to put up with the nightly boozing parties and street bonfires of the Durham Streeters, no idea if it is still the same nowadays.

Welcome sabbs...I wish you a very warm welcome to W.W.but please don't class all council house tenants the same...I live in one and and am a long way from scum...believe me...I think they'll be for rent Elizabeth,and most likely having their rent paid for them...just blame the stupid system.

Sadly, this is seems to be the norm.

People pitch-up and completely ignore the fact that folks around them have certain standards. Those standards being part of the attraction to the site/situation in the first place.

Without any thought for anyone else, they suddenly impose their lower standards onto the rest.

Then:

Bang goes the neighbourhood!

This is what happens when council dwellings are no longer available due to them being sold off (Wonder who's idea that was?). Plus the facts that Dustaf pointed out.

Don't forget, some once great streets on our estates have suffered the same fate of bad interlopers.

sabbs the same is happening all over with private lets being let to people like that and streets are ruined.

Bloody hell!, I nearly bought one of those in a bought of nostalgia, my mother used to be the canteen manageress

We used to take the children to the little park and formal garden area at the side of the canal behind the mill and behind CHPS, then stroll along the canal - but sadly that's gone now......
