NO item can be as unsightly as the bands/stakes left rotting away on memorials in Pleasington Cemetery.

It is now almost four years since the health and safety process was undertaken, and what has Blackburn with Darwen Council done to ensure that these bands/stakes are removed as quickly as possible? Not a lot.

Year upon year, these ugly supports are left to rot. So, BWDBC, before writing to people about items which you consider unnecessary, deal with your own issues first and restore Pleasington back to the respectful place it was.
