NOW that it has been shown that Darwen has had money it should have received diverted to Blackburn for the past 30 years, are we to expect a rebate of some kind? Maybe a reduction in rates, or money put to improving our road surfaces?

I somehow don't think so.

We will probably have our local councillor, Dave Smith, telling us once again how wrong we are, and how lucky we ought to feel being part of this award-winning council and that the Blackburn wards have the greater needs.
