I WRITE to express my disgust at the comments made by Peter Callow, leader of the opposition on Blackpool Council.

Xanadu and Snowdomes have come and been sent away by the ruling group. Where were the Tories? Silent as they always are when important decisions have to be made. I don't know how he has the gall to say that not to have Blackpool used as a pilot for casinos is a "devastating blow".

Where has he been for the last two years? Under his leadership the Tories have done worse than the ruling Lab/Lib group. The Tories have done nothing to further Blackpool as Britain's top family resort.

They have sat on their laurels, nodded, and watched as our town slips into a "casino desert". Do the only thing left and resign.

Chris Davies, Marton Drive, Blackpool.
