I TOTALLY agree with Margo Wicks' letter (LET, February 12) concerning the inefficient refuse service in Blackburn and surrounding areas.
I have written to Hyndburn Council twice, stating that rat infestation is a probability because of its inability to sort out refuse collection in this area.
The responses I received were the typical hare-brained excuses that one does not expect from supposedly intelligent people.
However, with a family of five, the fact I have to fill my car boot with rubbish at least once, if not twice, a week and drive to the local tip, is totally inexcusable.
