IN response to Councillor Edmund Critchley's remarks (Letters, February 14), we would also like to thank everyone involved with the demolition of Mill Hill flats, Blackburn, on February 11.

Though we are pleased they are down at last, it was quite an emotional moment for those of us who had lived in their vicinity for 33 years.

We hope that when the land is sold, decent sheltered accommodation or similar is built there to bring Mill Hill back to what it used to be -- a great place to live.

JACKIE NICKSON (Mrs), St

Aidan's Close, Mill Hill.
