WHILE agreeing wholeheartedly with D Pearson (Letters, May 30) that the Dome has proved to be the equivalent to a herd of white elephants, in all fairness I feel that the blame should be allocated to the previous government (Conservative, I think) who saddled us with it.

Out of curiosity, perhaps Mr Pearson could confirm that he is not the same D Pearson, Conservative Councillor, who also lives on Rawstorne Street, Blackburn.
