Don't get too envious, since Blackburn Transport was sold to Transdev the cost of leisure facilities is accademic to many who live in BwDBC. We simply can not get out o9f the house. Our buses only seem to run on main roads and if you live away from the main road you either have HAVE to have a car or order a taxi.

The north of Blackburn in particular has trouble acessing a council run gym or swimming pool, as everything is at the other end Shadsworth and Darwen .
We pay full council tax but there is nothing for us to use nearby.
