I AM writing to you about what our MP Janet Anderson said about the people that have not sold their houses to Blackburn with Darwen Council so they can get on with the building of the new academy on the Redearth Triangle site.

She said they should not hold back this project and take what is on offer.

To me this is like, "sell or something will happen to you if you don't?"

This is a free country so people can sell if they want or if they don't want to sell they do not seed to sell.

I hope the judicial review will go against the council and they do not get their new compulsory purchase order they have applied for.

I hope that "People Power" will win this battle, that would bring the council down.
