some firemen were using the back alley by the old sub post office, so i assume it was the backend of the building were the fire was.

Is it the building that has a yard with gates on just down the side of the old post office? Its a builders yard I think.

the one next to the tools hire place i think

they should've sorted that area out long ago - it just needs knockin down - jsut leave a lawn on it if need be.

commercial, the building next to it, across the road post office and the few next to that and the derelict factories all need to be taken down.

The building directly across the road from where the fire was (two buildings down from the commercial) is actually a three storey wedding outfitters, and I know for a fact they've spent thousands on that building in the past 4 years (i used to work there!!), trying to make it look neat and tidy outside as well as inside. They've worked really hard to try and improve certain things, but with so many derelict buildings and the council blocking useage applications for the buildings its very dificult.

The Wedding People shop is an exception there and has been really well preserved/renovated. That one shows what can be done. But the commercial and the ruin next door with half a roof are a total eyesore.

I have just had a hard look at fire brigade call out records.
There were 7 fires in empty commercial premises from end of Jan to date (8 months).
