Had a brief scout round for ours, looks like it's been binned

[jaysay]

I actually register for a forum which sends out questionaires regarding Hyndburn, can't for the life in me think what its called, seem to think I get around 4 per year. I first registered about 5 years ago, I can either do it on line or through snail mail

Looks like there is an online form on the H.B.C. website, however, the first question is/was 'Do you want a Town or Parish Council for your area?' Only options are 'Yes' or 'No' before moving on .. like you, Garinda, wanted some more information as to costs/advantages, etc, so did not proceed.

The help button did not work. Oh, hang on, there is a small section explaining lightly what Town Councils are responsible for, etc., but no more than what was said in the Observer article.

Advises you to 'just fill in the form when it comes through the door or use the online form'

That's the one Margaret, but won't let you proceed until you have voted Yay or Nay. Supposed to be closed now anyway ...

you are right - I read April as August - bit groggy after a nap

Well if this small sample is anything to go off, it looks like three quarters of Hyndburn residents never received a form asking for their opinions.

Been thinking about this and was wondering if we threw it away thinking it was junk mail. Maybe if we had been imformed about the forms or the envelopes were more clearly marked we would have taken more notice and filled them in!!!

I'm quite hot on putting junk mail straight into the recycling sack.

From memory this didn't look like that, it looked offical, and certainly caught my attention.

We got one, no envelope, just said take it to the library.

Have just spoken to me brother who lives about 400 yards further down on the estate I live on at Clayton.. he says didn't get this either and, believe me, he is very thorough and would not have chucked any mail away before inspection.

Have asked him to put his mark on the poll, as he is a member.

[katex]

Me again .. just had a reply from Nick Collingridge :-

"Hi Kate
They were delivered in Clayton and a copy was in the Observer.
Sorry you didnt get a copy if you let me have your post code and the post code of the other people Ill find out why you didnt get them and see if your comments can be included in the survey.
Regards Nick"

Guess gonna' be quite a job to collect the postcodes of everyone who didn't get a copy !

Well that puts a different light on it, if it looked official I would have looked at it.
