I have had one invitee to Peel Ward already AND the upshot was "what the bloody hell is my councillor doing then!". I am not important. Let's stick to the issues.
2. I HAVE TO spend 1% of my time (reluctantly as Bagpuss who I know is not Labour - suggested) on issues like this. Andrew FOI 'd the Council for one reason.
Rather than back peddle to defend a slanted view that was unrepresentative which is what Andrew does I am happy to come clean and tell the truth up front.The 'mud slinging' accusations don't matter as they don't account for the 99% good work that I do.
The only thing that matters of course (if Hyndburn wants to be great)is The Truth. Burying one's head in the sand to these people will not achieve that.

Let's really put thing's in perspective, you and the Councillors of whichever party, didn't Originally put yourselves up for self gratification or financial reward.
Unfortunately as keeps happening, the main aim often gets obscured by the fog of war, not intentionally but you all, from all parties are that busy trying to defend what you can or are trying to do that there are moments of frustration.
You Graham tend to shoot from the hip, you know Andrew, you know what he is like and 2x2=5, (because you feel hurt), and you want to kick back oops a daisy as I've already said shot yourself in the foot.
That doesn't mean you don't care, it perhaps shows you care too much!
What is needed by we the poor electorate is for you and everyone else to work for us as a team, you have all been voted in, ignore the party, look out for the people that put you there,
All of you!
