REGARDING Burnley Council's plan to demolish the large family houses in Rectory Road and nearby streets, it's frightening to know that it does not matter to the council how long a person has lived there, if they own their homes, or even how it would affect some health-wise.
Surely, in this day and age, one is entitled to live in one's own home.
Council money should be used to modernise existing properties, instead they want to cause upheaval because they have decided the houses in this area should be pulled down.
It seems there is now no security whatsoever for tenants or house owners.
M LANE, Laithe Street, Burnley.
