IN reply to Mrs J W Walkden's remarks about blocked drains (Letters, August 1), there is only one man who cleans the drains for the whole of Blackburn, Darwen and surrounding areas. He is out in all weathers, doing a thankless job. Most of the drains that are blocked are a result of Joe Public putting bottles, cans, left-over concrete, fat, oil, etc., down them. Is it not time people took responsibility for their own actions?
