It just prolongs the agony.

Theirs, and ours.

The Maunday Grange isn't something for the town to be proud of.

I'm glad the judge had more sense, and ignored Dorothy McGregor's plea that he should be saved jail.

I'm suprised H.B.C. aren't pushing it as a tourist attreaction.

1 supporting and encouraging maundy relief to expand attracting liverpool's,manchesters and most of lancashire problems
2 bail hostel with the highest no of paedophiles
3.sally army down blackburn road way
4.letting every corrupt shady landlords get away with everything
5getting rid of the bike race
6.keep rebuilding over and over again in the same area
7. letting moorhead get away with anything without consulting local residents covering it up saying they were building a leisure centre in the grounds ie making the surrounding streets like a prison with 9 foot barred fences
8 letting dodgy shop keepers selling whatever they want to whoever they want
labour or Tory all are guilty never seen so many off licences in such a small vicinity:confused: the list is endless accy used to be brilliant but no more that's why i left.
