CAN we spend some of the West Accrington regeneration money (LET, March 27) on tarting up property along Blackburn Road from Church's lights to King Street/town centre?

Driving into Accrington along Blackburn Road is an experience not only in "horror" but in highlighting just how far standards have fallen nationwide.

No civic pride now, just shame.
