I REFER to the letter by F Spencer (LT Aug 7) stating Councillor Cotterill of Meadowhead ward, Blackburn, got the wall on Livesey Branch Road repaired after trying for years to have it repaired without success by himself and other residents.

I was the councillor for Meadowhead for four years and held street surgeries in this part of the ward on numerous occasions and no one ever complained to me or my colleague Coun Rishton about this wall.

When Mr Spencer brought to my attention other complaints, they were dealt with within 48 hours.

Whatever complaint I was told about was always dealt with to the best of my ability. And if I was to put them all in print they would fill a full edition of the Telegraph.
