YOUR reporting brings a fresh atmosphere to the foul smell that is Blackpool. The town presents an ignorant image as seen with overgrown hedgerows, fouled footways with dog droppings and the germ-laden gum carpeting damaged pavements.

The image of ignorance increases with the fascist council structure clearly imposed on the population with government backing. Bureaucracy in Blackpool is a Falstaffian farce.
