THANK you for establishing a Rossendale page in your newspaper. The reports are very informative and it puts more of a spotlight on the valley.
I am also pleased that you have also decided to include Ramsbottom news in this section. Ramsbottom is a town with deep roots in the valley. Cricket and football is played in the Lancashire League and North West Counties League with other valley towns and the stone architecture in the town centre is similar to other valley towns.
Even though for administrative and political purposes we are now linked with Bury, this is only a recent policy. Throughout our history we have always been firmly linked to Rossendale.
Good luck with your new page and thank you for your excellent coverage of valley news.
STEPHEN POLLITT, George Road, Ramsbottom.
