HAVING just authorised the invasion of Normandy in 1944, General Dwight Eisenhower wrote: "I take full responsibility." What a pity that the Executive Member for Regeneration in Blackburn and Darwen does not adopt a similar attitude.

Instead, as traffic in Blackburn town centre grinds to a crawl, Councillor Ashley Whalley refuses to take any of the blame. Perhaps his ego just cannot take it that his master plan for the regeneration of the town centre was fatally flawed.

It must be nice to be different than the rest of us and know that your judgments are infallible.

COUN D PEARSON, Rawstorne Street, Blackburn.
