Replies: 120 Hyndburn Council tax set to rise Views: 4,003 Posted By Ken Moss Re: Hyndburn Council tax set to rise £800,000.....where have I heard that figure recently? Oh yes, savings still to be found. So he retains control in May with empty promises, doesn't spend the money in those wards after all...

Replies: 120 Hyndburn Council tax set to rise Views: 4,003 Posted By Ken Moss Re: Hyndburn Council tax set to rise This is the Britcliffe administration, overseers of a borough of hope and dreams, where everything that goes wrong can be laid firmly at the door of Graham Jones and 13 years of those pesky Labour...

Replies: 120 Hyndburn Council tax set to rise Views: 4,003 Posted By Ken Moss Re: Hyndburn Council tax set to rise This was my beef with the publicised Overview & Scrutiny Committee meeting with Cllr Britcliffe several weeks ago. They moved the planning meeting at the last minute and as a result I was unable to...

Replies: 120 Hyndburn Council tax set to rise Views: 4,003 Posted By Ken Moss Re: Hyndburn Council tax set to rise You of all people should know that there are hundreds of savings to be made from what you termed 'box ticking' politics brought in by past governments but also many which are there just for symbolism...

Replies: 120 Hyndburn Council tax set to rise Views: 4,003 Posted By Ken Moss Re: Hyndburn Council tax set to rise With thanks to a gentleman who is well acquainted with just how 'simple' it is. Although I take your point, the rub comes from a council which is crying blue murder at the cuts being brought...

Replies: 120 Hyndburn Council tax set to rise Views: 4,003 Posted By Ken Moss Re: Hyndburn Council tax set to rise Cllr Wells, someone who far exceeds my own abilities both as a politician and a public speaker, got told the same at a subsequent meeting. The 60-odd year old Leader of the Council more interested in...

Replies: 120 Hyndburn Council tax set to rise Views: 4,003 Posted By Ken Moss Re: Hyndburn Council tax set to rise I can say categorically that we are not. He even brought it up in full council that he wouldn't be adding me as a friend. How soundly I slept that night.

Replies: 120 Hyndburn Council tax set to rise Views: 4,003 Posted By Ken Moss Re: Hyndburn Council tax set to rise You can be guaranteed transparency from me, possibly too much sometimes, but if I can stay awake long enough myself I will let you know some Hyndburn folk stories. I'm looking forward to seeing...

Replies: 120 Hyndburn Council tax set to rise Views: 4,003 Posted By Ken Moss Re: Hyndburn Council tax set to rise Which is how our current Leader justifies every unpopular move, by playing on the confusion of the majority of the electorate and bringing national politics in to excuse poor local decisions. I'm...

Replies: 120 Hyndburn Council tax set to rise Views: 4,003 Posted By Ken Moss Re: Hyndburn Council tax set to rise With the ranting I've done in the past 12 months I should hardly need to but there will be fallout from decisions that we will have to 'correct' that will take time and I imagine that I won't be able...

Replies: 120 Hyndburn Council tax set to rise Views: 4,003 Posted By Ken Moss Re: Hyndburn Council tax set to rise I understand that Peter is one of the few councillors whose personality helps swings the vote his way in St Andrews but as far as the residents of wider Hyndburn are concerned he is given a...

Replies: 120 Hyndburn Council tax set to rise Views: 4,003 Posted By Ken Moss Re: Hyndburn Council tax set to rise Brass has been in particularly short supply in recent years due to an ego explosion in 1999 which ripped through the borough. You can still see engraved bits of shrapnel embedded in walls.

Replies: 120 Hyndburn Council tax set to rise Views: 4,003 Posted By Ken Moss Re: Hyndburn Council tax set to rise Yellow ribbon has already been allocated, blue is for ex-Mayors, other than that take your pick.

Replies: 120 Hyndburn Council tax set to rise Views: 4,003 Posted By Ken Moss Re: Hyndburn Council tax set to rise As I said, mistakes have been made in the past and from what I can see they have been secretly agreed by Cabinet and pushed through at council. 'Lack of thinking' is your own key phrase there and...

Replies: 120 Hyndburn Council tax set to rise Views: 4,003 Posted By Ken Moss Re: Hyndburn Council tax set to rise Absolutely spot on, which is why all spending should be publicly accounted for, department by department. In an age of austerity we need to have better transparency with public money so that...

Replies: 120 Hyndburn Council tax set to rise Views: 4,003 Posted By Ken Moss Re: Hyndburn Council tax set to rise Garinda has rather beaten me to it but my watchword has always been how can we rectify what is wrong here and now rather than laying blame on a previous administration.

Replies: 120 Hyndburn Council tax set to rise Views: 4,003 Posted By Ken Moss Re: Hyndburn Council tax set to rise He's doing us all a big personal favour, it just happens to fall in line with Mr Cameron's threat to withhold a 2.5% council tax grant from any authority which raises council taxes.

Replies: 120 Hyndburn Council tax set to rise Views: 4,003 Posted By Ken Moss Re: Hyndburn Council tax set to rise We need to get out of the mindset of 'we've been given it so we must spend it'. Administrations across the board are guilty of this and the standard reposte will probably involve the number 13 and...
