IN my opinion anyone who wishes to stand as a councillor for Blackburn and Darwen or any other town for that matter should have to undertake a test to prove they have at least some knowledge of the geography of that town.

I refer to the recent letter to your newspaper by Coun D Pearson in which he puts the so-called Bank Top lion on the corner of Wensley Road. It is of course on the corner of Oakenhurst Road formally Greaves Street. Get to know your town Coun Pearson.

JOHN SMITH, Abraham Street, Blackburn.
