AFTER reading about the £1.8 million they are going to spend on Blackburn Boulevard, I am sick to the back teeth with the council.

They spend money like water on things in Blackburn, but we in Darwen get a pittance.

Our town centre is the only place where you can get wet standing in the bus shelters.

And regarding the railings they have put up on the main road with Darwen Tower emblems on them - why waste money on things like that?

Do they think that Darwen people are happy when they do things like this?

It's time we got some of the millions that Blackburn seems to get from wherever.
