I,ve just come home from shopping in Bedlington and I must say I was really pleased with the look of Bedlington tonight. The flower beds are beautiful and the town does look nice and well kept but I can,t say the same for the 'station' as it really does look dreadful. I do know the Clayton has never looked good but it has never looked so bad at this moment in time. The chemist shop paintings are filthy and I have noticed theres also a window boarded up. Jakes bar surely is owned by someone and ofcourse with the newsagents now being closed it just looks a right state. I thuoght at Xmas time it was smashing and I thought at last we are not now the poor relations but I,m afraid it is back to normal. I do think its a damn shame and why should we be ashamed
