WELL done, everyone responsible for the two summer events I've attended in Blackburn.

I thought the Mardi Gras was great and really enjoyed the Arts events in Corporation Park. I hope they will happen again next year and that the weather will be as kind!

But, please, publicise them better. People I've spoken to didn't know about them.

And get some better food vendors -- surely, people in Blackburn can do better than burgers and chips? What about some great Asian food?

Well done again and keep it up!

RICHARD JONES, Church Lane, Mellor.
