I FEEL badly served by Blackburn with Darwen Council.

At the rear of my home, application was made by the owner of adjoining premises for an extension; this was duly approved by the planning sub-committee.

I had submitted an objection, claiming this would restrict daylight and sunlight to me.

I have subsequently written to the chairman, Councillor Frank Connor and to the director of technical services Mr A Peake, to state my disappointment, pointing out that not one of the 10-man committee bothered to visit me to assess my viewpoint.

I have not received the courtesy of a reply to my letters.

Everything was decided in the comfort of the council offices.

FRANK LESLIE, Audley Lane, Blackburn.
