I OBJECT to the town centre by-pass planned for our area of Blackburn. Its construction will mean dirt and noise for two years, then traffic noise and pollution.

We do not need a by-pass through a quiet neighbourhood. Why not use the money to regenerate Lord Square and Blackburn centre itself, instead of wasting it on projects that will not regenerate Blackburn but will degenerate it.
