WITH reference to the story of Blackburn residents urging action over the vandalised former Corporation Park pub, in Revidge Road, Blackburn – it appears that the council is reluctant to represent the people who elected them in case they tread on the toes of someone.

Instead of trying to ‘engage with the owner’ it is high time they slapped a compulsory purchase order on the property.

If this is how the council neglect a conservation area, then I dread to think what could happen to the rest of the town.
