The problem with owners of buildings is most could not care about the building as it is a cost for them they just want to make a large profit, however people say Bedlington is a nice looking place and Bedlington station is rubbish I disagree, Bedlington has it's share of building/sites in a state of disrepair, Tescos row (old Co Op, Spend N save, the gap site, etc.) the church hall (owned by a private developer since at least 2005) and of course Elliots Garage Gap Site all in a state, but the county council have not way of control so they can't do anything.
