NEVER having been a great fan of Blackburn with Darwen Council, I must give credit where it is due.

On Wednesday, September 3, at 1.45pm, my husband rang the council to report a tree which had blown down and was partially blocking the road, making it difficult for passing traffic. At 2.10pm the operations vehicle arrived and by 2.45pm the tree had been sawn up and everything removed. So within the space of an hour, all was back to normal.

I call that excellent service and I was most impressed.

W WESTERN (Mrs), Harwood Street, Darwen.
