IF anyone of your readers were even in any doubt about the North/South divide then the cruel and callous decision not to make £500,000 available to demolish homes and premises devastated by the tragedy that was the New Ferry explosion that has blighted the lives of all in this community.

It proves that the PM’s word isn’t worth a penny.

The MPs of Merseyside of whatever party need to speak as one voice on this obscene decision and bring some semblance of justice and closure on this issue and soon.

Tony Weedon and family, Bromborough.
