When I see what Blackburn council have done to our town it makes my blood boil, we used to have a fairly decent bus station with two lanes of bus shelters, it was all dug up, and this unwarranted sea of emptiness heaped on us, just today someone told me a friend of hers fell on these sett's and split her mouth open, she's just another in a long list of casualties caused by these rough grey sett's. Why does God put morons in positions of power? I don't think he does, its the other fella that does that.

Created a sea of pavement, cobbled roads that people are injuring themselves tripping over them, extreme right. Blackburn council sure do know how to screw up a town, and they've succeeded brilliantly here with this sand and grey area of nothingness. In fact you could call it the Darwen erg, its a description that fits beautifully.

An erg, a large relitively flat area of desert, with shifting wind-swept sand, especially in the Sahara. Encarta dictionary.

Thank's Blackburn, you spent months inconveniencing everybody, spent (I mean squandered millions of our money) creating this depressing expanse of nothingness, you could at least have given us some sculptures of camels just to make it look more convincingly like a desert.

Do try to compensate people who've tripped and fallen and hurt themselves over your ugly grey sets.

Hovis heritage just isn't worth it.

Hmmm.  Summicrom, why don't you tell us what you think of this area.   

Excellent picture, though, illustrating the situation.

I think that someone somewhere has completly lost the plot, a health center up a hill that needs a bus service to get too, whilst the center of town where our health center was, is now an abandoned building site, that ran out of money, there is a constant traffic jam in the town, takes three minutes for the lights to change, so you can cross a road, or get from town to the health center, a huge school going up just beyond the center of town that looks like it could house a nuclear reactor, completely out of context with such a small town. Its like living in a total mess, somebody got big ideas for the town, and nothing fits in, its like the scrambled up pieces of a jigsaw. This expance of granite paving is really depressing, in sunlight its so glaring that it hurts your eyes. Funnily enough there's some interesting photography to be had.

Perhaps you should run for council?

 Sounds definitely like your !!! Ah-I guess that's upgrading supposedly???
