SIR – With reference to Mrs Wooton’s letter (June 29) about the three houses in New Lane. They have not been empty as long as stated. My brother lived in the middle one until 2004.
I don’t think they have anything to do with the Council, they belonged to W & G Whitehead (Laisterdyke) Ltd, and were rented by employees of the firm. The mill and houses were sold to a housing development company.
I do agree something should be done about them as they are in a pitiful state now.
