AS a son of St Helens who now lives in Liverpool, I was shocked to see the state of the town today.
People constantly barrack Liverpool, mostly undeservedly.
I came back for a visit to my brother and nipped into town. What a sight. Hardshaw Street was littered with cash machine receipts, and fast food wrappers, along with Church Street. People often ask if I would ever move back. Not on this basis.
