WHEN I complained here about Blackburn Council placing speed bumps in Denville Road, I was not objecting to the bumps.
My concern was the danger created by drivers swinging on to the pavement to avoid the bumps. It was pleasing to note that, a short time after publication, practical steps were taken to stop this.
Happily, today I am not complaining - far from it. Denville Road residents are in the process of having new central heating installed. The difference is unbelievable - truly great. There is just no comparison with the old.
When I heard work was to start, I thought "Here we go - weeks of mess and workmen all over the place."
What a surprise - minimal disturbance, no mess, and a very quick efficient job.
Well done Blackburn with Darwen Council.
