SO Councillor Ron O'Keefe thinks Darweners are all clowns. The only clowns' in Darwen are some of the town's councillors, especially the town planners.
Yes, we are overrun with hot food takeaways - who gave permission for them? A travel agent is closing down, so what will it be replaced with? Yet another food shop, or will it stand empty because of high rents?
As for the health centre, had the police station and fire station been moved up there, then the sick and infirm wouldn't have had a problem seeing a doctor as there would have been enough land for the health centre to expand on its original site, or is that common-sense?
So Moorland School will be pulled down and the land left as a "green area". How long before the land is sold to a builder?
I am sick of hearing about the Redearth site for a new college.
What is wrong with the old technical college? The outside has been sandblasted, new windows installed and it is a beautiful building worthy of having the interior brought up to date with money earmarked for the Redearth site.
No, Councillor O'Keefe, we are not clowns, neither are we thick.
Come the next council election you will find that you have shot yourself in the foot.
