MY neighbours and I are blazing about the revelations in Mr Ken Coups' letter about council spending. We have been fighting for years to get our back street made up. We are always told there is no money, even though they have done it in other areas of Blackpool recently.

Now we find out that hundreds of thousands of pounds have been paid to London public relation consultants to hype up Leisure Parcs casino ambitions. On top of the £500,000 wasted on the dreadful promenade "works of art" that is just adding insult to injury. Roll on the local elections I say.
