Thank you St Helens Star for printing these letters against the casino proposals. However, it appears that the authorities and our MPs are not listening to us.

The majority of St Helens people do NOT want a casino. The evidence of this can be seen in your newspaper and also the comments on Shaun Woodward's website. Of 36 messages on the site, only 11 are in favour.

Local churches and community groups are actively telling our councillors about the opposition so why aren't they listening? Your front-page article made it very clear that Saints can have their stadium without a casino, which is what the majority of Saints supporters want. So let's go ahead and drop any idea of a casino, for good!
