YOUR story says that the new £13.5m sports centre ‘will boost Blackburn’s night-time economy’.

That just reinforces my long- held belief that leaders of councils are living on another planet. Night-time economy? This area is bad enough during the day with thefts from cars, assaults and other nefarious activities.

Councillors Hollern and Harling must be strangers. However, I do agree that the facilities will be good for East Lancashire and Blackburn.
