FULL marks to Councillor Dave Smith, of Darwen, pictured twice in a week (LET, May 24 and 25) -- once with destroyed trees and again with piles of rubbish dumped on spare ground.

In the past couple of weeks we have had three trees (only recently planted) destroyed and have gained a fridge and washer on the land outside our front doors.

Can we look forward to our three Wensley Fold councillors paying the area a visit? More chance of seeing a flying pig, I'd say.
