RE: END of Mercer’s (LT, August 26). It is so sad to hear of the closure of Mercer’s toy shop in Blackburn. The council has a lot to answer for.
Why do they have all the roadworks going on at the same time?
The three main motorway entries at Ewood, Guide and Church have been a shambles for ages now.
Why didn’t they start one, finish it and start another?
I don’t know about the roadworks in town as I don’t go in now as each time I do they have changed the one-way system.
I remember when the motorway first opened at Ewood I wrote to Blackburn planners and sent them a detailed plan of how to make a filter on the motorway to speed up the junction after matches at Rovers.
I didn’t even get a reply.
A couple of years ago a plan just like mine was used and it works - with some highly-paid planner getting the credit.
