Town seemed very noisy today so it didn't encourage me to stay what with that and the weather.

Nice photos.

30 years of hyndburn it seems too long doesnt it
i wonder if they make something like a new town hall as a milestone

Mick · 03-07-2004, 15:42

Thanks for taking the trouble to take the photographs Mick. What would we do without you?

WillowTheWhisp · 03-07-2004, 20:24

It's a shame about the weather and more of a shame about the people standing in front of you.

Doug · 03-07-2004, 20:35

Thanks Mick, its nice to be able to show the famliy some up to date pics of the town.

There wasn't a great deal to photograph.
It was very small and it was over in a flash.
I was a little disapointed but what there was of it was good.
They do look smart in there uniforms.

Could someone please explain to me what the object of this costly exercise was supposed to be? Was it to "celebrate" 30 years of Hyndburn misgovernment or was it to formally dedicate the memorial to the Pals? I cannot see how anyone can justify mixing the two events

Surely the memorial should have been commemerated at it's own distinct and worthwhile ceremony? The call for this long-overdue reminder has not come from the local politicians but from all sorts of people over the years; the memorial itself does not appear to be complete (I would assume there are to be flagged surroundings) so why has this been rushed, other than to help to justify the Councils 30 year shindig?

And that itself apears to be a joke. Just what the hell are those two pike-carrying policeman supposed to be doing? Is this Doug & Sandra's - our dynamic crime fighting Tsars council duo - latest get-tough-on-hooligan initiative? And who's the woman who looks like she's just stepped out of a hearse? Can someone explain?

Maybe they are celebrating there last year of hyndburn council, everything could change if regional assembly happens.

Or they could be saying to people hbs is cool and good.
