6th Worst Area In England

Less, I get boggled reading your incessant pessimism. Do you know anything at all about Hyndburn?

Yours, permanently disappointed.

Graham I may disappoint you, that does no real harm to the Staus quo, You disappointing your constituents that will make changes.

I don't know a thing about Hyndburn mainly because whenever asked a question my local M.P. does not consider myself nor 95% of his constituents to have the nouse to think about major issues such as a referendum, due to which he attempts to fob me off with made up percentages and opinion polls that mean nothing.

Yours, a permanently ex Labour voter.


P.S. Notice how you prefer to have a go at me, rather than relieve me of my ignorance by mentioning the story?

Re: 6th Worst Area In England

I rang the police station today to report somebody going round town and asking people if they wanted to buy jewellery from the bag he was trailing round. The police response was " we will see if anybody can come down and check it out". I'm guessing that as they didn't ask me for a description or came to see me they were busy wading through the swamp.

Last week somebody was roaming round town selling sets of chef's knives.

I reckon with a bit of time Hyndburn can claim number 1 spot and knowing the local council they will see it as some form of honour.

Re: 6th Worst Area In England

Did you ask for an incident reference number when you reported it? They can't ignore you then and have to log it. I can't help thinking they will be trying to not log complaints to bend the figures

No I didn't. I ring the community policing number which I was given by a previous officer of the law who attended an incident earlier this year.

I haven't actually seen a police officer in town for quite a while now.

neither have the people selling dodgy or stolen gear and thats of course why they are there

its not a new problem though dave it was a couple of years ago i saw a bloke laying out a blanket full of fake tobacco and he was there some time unchallenged despite all the cctv in the area.

smack bang between greggs and the sports shop wher eall teh pedestrians have to walk through to get to the indoor and outdoor market

take the banches away and teh crooks bring a blanket to sit on

Maybe all the police officers are queuing up for a ride in the helicopter which seems to be constantly hovering over springhill.

I would have thought the hot roofs would stand out much easier in winter

Re: 6th Worst Area In England

They were probably laughing at the young lad who couldn't reverse up the steep bit to go around the roadworks after stopping to let a land rover up the hill. He gave up and his girlfriend had to totter over on her heels and move the traffic cone so he could set off forward

I almost fell of my bike laughing at him
