Well done to Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council’s highways and drainage department.

Not sure if it was as a result of a recent telephone call from us to the highways deptartment, but within a few weeks of us reporting a problem with water running along the bottom of Hillside Avenue, Blackburn, it was sorted out with a pipe going into the drain.

This water has been a hazard during the snow and ice, and not only recently, with a couple of cars skidding on it and into Fecitt Brow.

We thought we had to give credit were credit was due as it’s not very often the council get praised, but this is well deserved.

Mr and Mrs Harwood.
