TO the Meadowhead residents who voted for me, I would like to thank you all.

During seven years, I made many friends along the way and have shared your ups and downs.

I would like to reassure you all that, whatever your political persuasions, I will work for you and look forward to representing you in the council chamber.

Cllr Konrad Tapp, Meadowhead ward, Blackburn with Darwen Council (via e-mail) Welcome to the real world, Paul RE: New traffic lights make Darwen rat run a ‘hellhole’ (LT, April 25). Cllr Paul Brown is now living in a real world and will have to live with it, like all the residents.

Lightbown Street is a very busy cul-de-sac and has been for more than 20 years. There is nowhere for kids to play safely.

Paul, look on the bright side of life or you will get eye strain. Just wait until the new Pennine Reach is completed!

Frank Crompton, Darwen
