REGARDING Mr G Smith's remarks (Letters, September 9) on unhygienic streets, I think it is up to the residents to keep streets clean and tidy.

There is no excuse for rubbish as we have a very efficient cleansing department which will remove household rubbish on request.

Until a few years ago, Devonport Road was one of the better areas of Blackburn. People were house-proud and the road was litter free.

M COURTNEY (Mrs), Summerville Walk, Blackburn.
