DOES Blackburn Council have a death wish?

Or maybe I've sussed out that they've a commission on the sale of Prozac, or an overload of traffic lights and orange road beacons.

Seriously, I spent nearly an hour travelling through Darwen to get to Blackburn.

Realising the new motorway would hold up the traffic, I had no idea that some person in the council offices, has dreamt up extra roadworks at every possible entrance into Blackburn.

First, they dreamed up one-way systems that baffled us all. Now, they've got us in permanent second gear.

Come on, Blackburn councillors, wake up!
