EVERYONE tells me that the council have "got it in hand.".....They are waiting for the remaining owners to move out etc etc............but how long must it take? If a street is to be cleared, why not use the "Compulsory Purchase Order" I hate the scheme....but all other councils use it to good effect!

There are hundreds of run down houses in Accie and Blackburn that are "awaiting" re-development but recently, I was travelling along the M65 towards Burnley and saw street after street with holes in roofs and in a dilapidated state!! WHY??
