I DON'T want to take sides in the battle of words over fair shares for Darwen, but when I read of all the money to be spent on Blackburn's parks (LET, June 4) I wondered if just a little can be spared to provide decent toilet facilities for Sunnyhurst Woods.

I have to be desperate before I resort to using the present toilets. They are clean but there is nowhere to wash your hands and never any toilet paper.

I was disgusted that a councillor suggested that even these primitive facilities should be demolished. Come on, Blackburn with Darwen Council, provide a comfort stop for the many hundreds of people who enjoy these woods.

E M EASTHAM, Milton Close, Darwen.
