IN response to the letter (November 3) People have no pride in 'filthy' town, I wholeheartedly agree with Mr Eke.

Blackburn is a disgusting and depressing town to live in. The amount of litter gets worse every day and not just in the town centre.

Other eyesores are metal shutters onn some shops. If these people feel the need to protect their property the council should set certain standards as to what type should be fitted.

Its like being in Beirut in some areas.

I've yet to see anyone fined for dropping litter or letting their dogs foul the footpaths.

So come on councillors, start fining these people who have no pride in themselves or their town and expect us all to live in filth.

C OVEREND.
