WITH all the publicity surrounding the Battle of the Tables recently with the Darwen trader who simply wants to provide tables for the use of the public, doesn't it show just how much notice the council takes of what the public want.
This is just a typical example, along with all the complaints about Blackburn Boulevard being a one-way system for cars, and complaints about other road systems and problems in the borough that the public are unhappy about.
The council's attitude is "they'll get used to it." That is not a democracy, it is a dictatorship. It really annoys me that everyone feels there is no point complaining because the council will do what it wants anyway.
I say more people should change that attitude and keep complaining until they do listen. Perseverance is the key. Complain and keep complaining until they listen to what the public wants.
