CAN we take it that Blackburn Council doesn't want anybody to visit the town? I ask this having had difficulty getting through it or round it in the past few days.

Preston New Road; roadworks, Whalley Banks; roadworks, Lower Audley; roadworks. A queue of traffic from the Infirmary to town; a queue of traffic from the Ice Arena to Bennington Street; Park Road; road works.

Barbara Castle Way should be named No Way, with traffic lights still changing to red as you get to them and Railway Road at a standstill both ways.

It took me a full 15 minutes to get up Audley on the Orbital Route. All this on a quiet Monday morning.

This so-called Oribital Route is sending us round the bend!
