I HOPE that not one penny of our money is going into Blackburn with Darwen's bid for city status.
Any town that can't support two homes for the elderly or two special schools for our children - or is unable to provide a small museum (except by appointment) should be relegated to the status of a village. (No offence to villages intended).
