WHAT qualifications does Councillor Andy Kay have to regenerate Blackburn if it includes turning thriving businesses into empty shops which bring in no income and turning main roads into single-lane tracks, which take you longer to get into the centre of Blackburn then drive the 12 miles into Burnley, Bolton or Preston?
All these towns have better shopping centres and bus station toilets (which are open). I think we all know why there were no elections in Blackburn this year and it was nothing to do with boundary changes, but more to do with Labour losing seats.
But they are only putting off what will happen if they do not take notice of the voters who want a town to be proud of and not one where the council will change anything as long as they can get a grant for it, whether it needs changing or not.
