6th Worst Area In England

Oh how I so wish I could dig out all the posts on here by councillors denying we have problems.

“The government have watered down Labour’s measures to tackle this issue
how do you water down not enough or sod all its not as though the problem was been sorted under labour either


mind you the streets did feel safer under labour after that father got an asbo for playing football with his 5 year old child in the street

ASBO's became a badge of honour to kids because they were easy to get and the punishment minimalistic

frankie boyle had teh right idea to call them bender badges instead of ASBO and make them wear them

PS:

instead of using these figures to bash the opposition and drop a little dig in why not work together with the opposition in tackling teh problem.Mind you that would be doing the opposite of many years training in council where councilors do nothing but bitch about each other and blame each other for getting sod all done

at least with labour bobbies were on the beat, people were confident to report crime now crime is ignored as the police are at crisis point . we are just a bunch of plebs. once society gets to the roots of these problems nothing will change.

Re: 6th Worst Area In England

this might sound a bit of old fashioned toryism and socialist but the root of the problem is kids have been institutionalised with being at school then thrown out on their ear if they are academically challenged , everybody is different i like the idea that is being mooted that every body who has left without qualifications will be placed into a work place to bring out the innovative in them and the old skill centres will be set up again. this plus the creation of sustainable jobs out with the service industries would be good.

I see just as many police officers 'on the beat' under the Tories as I did when Labour were in power, ZERO. Community Officers riding around on mountain bikes those I often see but the only glimpse of a Police Officer is a blur as they drive past blues and two's going, I don't believe they ever walk anywhere.
So wherever your labour bobbies walked the beat it wasn't around here.

Most sensible folk are knowing this, I reckon Cmons memory is a result of too much acid when younger. probably why mines not great these days.

Re: 6th Worst Area In England

Blackpool doesn't really count- it imports its yobs on stag parties, hen parties etc. When they've had a fight, been sick and had fun they go home(to Accrington?).
So doesn't that make Hyndburn the best 'worst borough for yobs' in Lancashire?
What has happened to my old home town? Does it actually have any law and order?

Of course it does, but not on a day with a 'y' in it.

Re: 6th Worst Area In England

Minutes from tonights emergency council meeting..

Item 1...removal of park benches to reduce yob behaviour in parks..

Passed..Councillor Moss pointed out that less than 3 people would complain....Graham Jones MP, asked to speak by special mandate, evidenced this by producing a document from the house of commons which read..'95% of xxx people I've personally spoken to, thought that removing park benches in the town of xxx was justified. Councillor 'lurker' Dawson asked for an addendum that seats be removed from school buses and replaced with the old hanging strap system..'they have it too good these kids nowadays'....

Item 2... striking of council workers complaining of low pay despite council paying 'living wage' as opposed to the 'minimum wage' paid by many private employers.

Passed..Leader of the council Smiles Parkinson said..every public employee deserves to be treated as a special case....big deal if a plague of rats and insects befalls Hyndburn, or that people who can't afford time off work have to arrange expensive emergency childcare or risk losing their jobs, we can score a political point here, sod the nuggets who voted us in..let them eat cake (or they could eat from their dustbins and it's win/win for us)! Besides I'm not actually paying for this, the dupes on minimum wage scraping a living who voted me in are...oh wait I'm supposed to be a Labour candidate aren't I?

During question time, 80 year old Bertha Heckinthwaite rose from the public gallery to point out that Blackburn and Burnley were both investing heavily in town centre shopping and asked the council what did they think would happen if they created a bus station away from Accrington town centre that had fast links to these towns which had actual shops and benches.....All councillors adopted the traditional 'ostrich pose' in response.

The meeting ended with councillors giving their expenses forms to the purser and self congratulations all round.

Re: 6th Worst Area In England

is this joke, so the old and infirm can't have a seat because the council think removing seats will stop anti-social behaviour .

Re: 6th Worst Area In England

Well removal of park benches is just what is needed!!! Many parks have bowling greens, n i often see yobby pensioners sat enjoying the bowling.
