ALL is going well with the redevelopment of Church Street in Blackburn, according to the council (LET, September 17). According to me, it is a shambles.

Fancy going to such expense and then turning a third of the street into a car park.

This surely extended the vision of the council for such a whacky scheme -- car parks are usually placed on waste land, not prime, central sites.
