'What happened to Burngreave investment?' - Reader's letter

John Bunting of Greenhill gives his thoughts on the state of Page Hall...

Regarding the article in Monday's (June 6) Star, Councillor Mustafa Ahmed states that Page Hall and Burngreave require more investment in keeping with other areas of the City.

In other words, somebody else's fault.

In 2001 - 2011, Burngreave was awarded £52m of investment which was considerably more than any other area of the city.

What has happened to that?

No investment is required for people to stop littering the area and fly tipping - just better education and heavy fines.

Also at the same time, stop all the continuous illegal parking on Owler Lane.

That will improve the area.
