READING the Telegraph concerning Church Street, can Coun Kay give the names of the shops on Church Street and what type they are?

The only businesses are five pubs that do not open at midday, then the two banks, the betting shop, the travel agent, the loan shop and the Army recruiting office.

I suggest you get out to the Cathedral and sit down and take note of comments of the people walking through. You will get a rude awakening.

As for the so-called listed buildings, well, there is not much you can say other then pull them down.

So Coun Kay, an answer please.

G PILKINGTON (Mr), St Michael's Court, Blackburn.
