I, FOR ONE, object to Blackburn householders being called lazy by the man in charge of cleaning the streets (LET, April 24).

The rubbish that accumulates in our back street (Lois Place/Midsummer Street) is blown by the wind from the bottom of the Edmondson Street/Johnston Street area.

The council are the ones who are lazy.

They have a street sweeper which comes round every Thursday. Why can't it do the back streets as well?

A MONAGHAN, Lois Place, Blackburn.
