IN reply to Peter Dawson, chairman of Wired Up Communities (Letters, April 27), I have a copy of the Lancashire Evening Telegraph two-page report of March 16, 2001, which states that residents on Blackburn's Whitebirk estate were to get free computers.
Yet Mr Dawson says the announcement was not made until well after the elections in 2001.
The elections that year were held in May -- two months after the report.
Whitebirk is classed as a deprived area, as is Little Harwood, which is part of the same ward.
But free computers were not made available to the residents of Little Harwood. Why? Wires, Mr Dawson, appear to be crossed somewhere.
