I FIND it puzzling that Blackburn with Darwen Council has refused the re-building by BP of the garage and filling station on Preston New Road, Blackburn.
I am in my late seventies. A garage was on this site from my childhood and boyhood.
It's hard to understand why a garage in this situation can currently influence shopping in New Bank Road.
In my younger days New Bank Road was much tidier and had a far greater variety of shops.
