REPLYNG to the letter in the Leigh Journal on May 19 headlined ‘ghetto blast’, I think that it is a great idea to build flats on the green belt land surrounding Lord Peter Smith’s home.

I’m sure the ever increasing Roma community would love to live in such a pleasant area. I’m sure he could also build a large community hall to house Roma-themed events throughout the year.

In our dreams Lord Smith.

No, you dump them in streets like Glebe Street and the surround area, thus creating a ghetto where house prices tumble, which in turn means cheaper rent.

Wigan Council saves money by creating ghettos.
