Like many others, I received a map of Blackburn's new orbital route so kindly distributed by the council.

If you look at the map properly, as Councillor Ashley Whalley orders us to do (LET, December 21), you will see that it denotes two-way traffic along Canterbury Street, a north to south flow along Freckleton Street bridge to Great Bolton Street and not even a mention of traffic being diverted up Islington.

Also, there is no mention of the town centre for people arriving into Blackburn at the Grimshaw Park junction.

Has Coun Whalley made this up as he goes along?
