Anger after blaze at Burnley derelict house (From Lancashire Telegraph)

It's no wonder incidents like this are occurring down there, it's like a war zone, people in Syria are having a charity do and collection for the residents of Daneshouse!

The money that has been poured into that place since the Burnley Riots in 2001 has been phenomenal and just look at the place, there's nothing to show for it at all. Multiple rows of boarded up houses, rubbish and other forms of waste strewn across the back streets, small children playing in the street with very little or no road sense and the area infested with the cancer of drug dealing. The Police are barely scratching the surface on that one (no detriment to them).
The whole area is simply beyond repair.

Well maybe the local police officer should be made aware of the situation, that's what these beat bobbies are for. He or she can then get stuck into working hard to prevent these incidents occurring, after all it's not just arson (and I don't mean the Arsenal manager) its all the other crime that goes on. It would be good to see the local bobbie running around his patch keeping ontop of the criminals (that's assuming he is a fit young police officer) thus reducing crime and reassuring the local community. That's what community policing is all about isn't it? By getting your face in the community (however ugly the young bobbie may be) and making the criminals fear the law. In the words of The Clash...."....let's make the law win"

Well if they stuck another half dozen officers up there (handsome or ugly) they might be able to do a bit more!

Is that your best reply......easy cop out (pardon the pin)

Many years ago I worked for a Housing Association that had a lot of property in that area and believe me you could write a book about the goings on that happened regarding the houses and some of the occupants.

Does the council own the house? If not why are local residents complaining to them and not the owners of the house?

Well I'm sure I saw the local bobbie the other day on his beat in Daneshouse..........
.he seemed to be puffing as he walked up Brougham St so it's no wander the criminals get away because the local bobbie looked like he had no chance of catching any one!

Softly softly catchee monkey!!!

Brougham street is in Stoneyholme, not Daneshouse! ;)

Maybe so Cha'mone MF but it's leads into Daneshouse just up the road and across the canal, and from my research I learned that the local bobbie covers both Daneshouse and Stoneyholme so it's just the same my friend.....you seem slightly interested in this article & seem to be loyal to the area so you will understand

These arent the same neighbours who were harrasing the old occupants as they wanted to buy the house are they,not the same ones who made it impossible for anyone else to live there ? so that eventually the house had to become derilict through them forcing any occupabts to leave ?..
wake up world unless your part of a certain culture (a third world one at that) you just cant live in that part of town.

shame the fire did not spread and burn the lot

This area is absolutely beyond fixing, you can't polish a turd! Tactical nuke and start again, stop wasting money trying to fix the unfixable and use funds elsewhere where they will be put to better use and received with a bit of gratitude.
