THE Blackburn, Hyndburn and Ribble Valley Friends of the Earth local group attended the Council's Arts in the Park on July 28 and 29 and praise them for a well-organised event and congratulate them for a job well done in attracting many local groups and organisations.

We would also like to say how successful this event was and Corporation park was an excellent venue and large enough for the amount of people attend.

Thank you to all the members of council staff and volunteers who gave their time for such a good weekend.
