If Mr Merry stops blaming everyone else and realises he and his council are incapable of even the smallest re-generation project. Even with hundreds of thousands of pounds of cleaning up and rebuild they are not capable of saving Hope Hospital. Of course, it could be that the Land is far more valueable for re-development than it is for a hospital and it has been allowed to happen. Its happening in other areas of Salford, its a good size and shape area of land and would be worth a fortune to the council redeveloped.
