AFTER countless phone calls to the council over the years, at long last Lightbown Street, Darwen, has had the street drains cleaned for the very first time in 100 years.

Was it anything to do with the ITV programme 'Are You Being Serviced?' (LET, October 16).

My wife and I really enjoyed it and can't wait for next week's edition. It should do a lot for the tourism industry in Blackburn.

F CROMPTON (Mr), Lightbown Street, Darwen.
