FOR months we were constantly bombarded by Blackburn with Darwen Council telling us that unitary status was the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Now that we have achieved this grand status, we find that the Council has decided that we need to have cuts in many services though promises were made that we would have better services.
It would appear that the only people to gain from unitary status are the councillors themselves, who have grossly increased their allowances.
B WHITE, Risedale Grove, Blackburn.
