Survivors

How apt that a TV company chose Newton to film a scene for a fictional production to give viewers the impression of a post holocaust town with few survivors and utter dereliction. The tragedy is the TV company in question didn't have to change anything, they simply let the films roll and showed a picture of bleak isolation. Yet, the objectors and the council seem hell bent on 'saving' Newton from jobs and investment.

If TV companies recognise Newton as a crumbling town lacking in developmemt and investment you'd imagine the local council would be doing everything possible to bring in investment.
