REGARDING the confusion after the opening of Blackburn's new orbital route. The 'I blame the drivers' response of Councillor Ashley Whalley (LET, December 21) is completely typical of his attitude throughout the regeneration work in Blackburn after numerous complaints and too much work being done all at once.
His remarks have been the same all the way through -- "it will be all right when it has been completed." But here we are with a great deal of the route already open for Christmas and now he says that the drivers are to blame.
Let's get this right in my mind -- Coun Whalley says that it is OK and the 147,000 people in the borough would appear to be wrong.
I have heard of sticking to your guns, but I think Coun Whalley has gone over the top this time.
ROY DAVIES, Olive Lane,
Darwen.
