BLACKBURN with Darwen Council constantly moans it have no money for things that need doing urgently, like safe footpaths in the cemetery for instance.

Yet they seem to have an abundance of money for any whim that takes their fancy.

The latest is that various approach roads to town now have a new piece of roadside clutter.

It is the fancy sign that proudly announces that the council is now in charge of parking.

Surely it would have been more sensible to have tackled the chaotic problems that abound in the borough first instead of making themselves a bigger laughing stock than they are already.
