blackburn just wants to be a city and they hope that swallowing up the surrounding towns will make them big enough to be given city status

despite having a cathederal the govenment wont give blackburn city status which if i am correct cities get bigger payouts than towns from the govenment

i skimmed through the story ( not a big reader lol ) and it mentioned we wouldnt be under their control but would share resources , well that sounds liek the first step to taking over us to me

anyway who the hell wants to be part of blackburn , despite having a handfull of decent areas there are plenty of areas that need a hell of a lot of improvements

blackburna and darwen shoudl sort out their own mess before taking on another towns mess

another thing is the only reason why blackburn is showing sighns of improvements is because HOUSING ASSOCIATIONS have taken over the areas and improved them NOT the council
