I was delighted to read in a recent copy of Boroughlife that David Bellamy had been to visit our area , and in particular The Three Sisters.
In the article Mr. Bellamy says :
"The centre, being planned by Wigan Leisure and Culture Trust, will be a gateway for visitors into the Flashes and be used by schools and the wider community.

Three giant spoil tips -the famous ' Three Sisters"- have been transformed by successive councils over the past thirty years into a pleasant country park."

I wonder if Mr .Bellamy was informed of council plans to expand the South Lancs Ind. Est. adjacent to the "famous "Three Sisters"" ?

I wonder if Mr.Bellamy was told of plans to build a dual carriage-way through the Flashes?

Mr. Bellamy goes on to say:

" The Wetlands that have developed are now fantastic. The authorities here are doing a great job in enhancing Wigans biodiversity."

I fear we will never see Mr.Bellamy again.
