Well if Cyfr knows that he can vote on the poll that there are yet more people who didn't receive a form.

True .. if people did not receive one, and do not wish to admit it, because of some sort of political reasons, they are not goin' to admit it, are they ?

Jaysay, you never really said if you had actually received this form, just some blurb about a site whereby you had joined to receive information.

I thought I was being polled when it says 'Did YOU receive a form'. I didn't realise we had to go and question non-members rindi. I'll get right on it shall I? Maybe we should go and canvas together around the neighbourhood.

Not non-members, but I thought it would have been common sense to find out if your base in Hyndburn, ie: your parents, had received a form, then you could join in our findings, and wouldn't feel all left out and isolated in Hull.

I wish you'd have put an 'other' option in because my dad doesn't know if he has had one or not. You'll have to wait with baited breath for my mums.

Re: Town Council forms.

It does seem pretty poor.

Do you think perhaps they did a cross-section of the borough to keep costs down?

The whole things sounds a bit of a fiasco.

If you're going to gauge public opinion by sending a form to every household in the borough, that's what you should do, otherwise the findings become pointless.

Strange how they manage to send council tax bills to every house in Hyndburn.

I think this incompetence would make an interesting story for a local rag.

Well, that's not so good a con Cashy ... easy to prove that the promise to send out forms to every resident in the borough (by you know who) is not difficult to prove that they did not !! Were obviously relying on neighbours not liasing on this .. not the power of Accyweb members ... !!

I think the local rag would need to know who was responsible before writing a story. So far it isn't clear who is, no matter how much you think otherwise.

Trust me, all a journalist worth his or her salt, needs are the facts.

Fact is large swathes of Hyndburn didn't receive an important document that the council says we have had.

Hardly Watergate.

People generally want to know why things happen (or don't). All we can do is accuse without knowing right now. I don't think this is very productive.

Do you have the right to know? You will know what I am on about.
