THE amount of people commenting on the plans to breathe new life into St Helens, saying it's a dump, baffles me.

It's like you're sat complaining it's a dump but fail to read the plans to turn the town around and attract new people and business to the town.

These are the same people that skip over the plans for new shops and just read "hotel being built".

Think it's about time people dropped the hatred for St Helens and actually give them a chance to do something new and good for the town.

We are getting investment to transform the town and have plans being executed, what more do you want?
