WITH the so-called season of goodwill over with a vengeance in our area of Blackburn -- two burned-out cars, a pile of household items two metres high dumped in the back street and land in our road again looking more like a second-hand furniture shop, I wondered if Councillors Kate Hallern and Mohammed Khan invited the Regeneration Minister Sally Keeble for a walk around the area.

I had heard they were to visit Bank Top to show her how much the area had improved (LET, January 9).

Thought not.

And before Judith Moss (Letters, January 7) writes her penny's-worth, I suggest she and any other interested party take a look.
