Re: Councillors in Hyndburn - Are they fit for purpose?

Less clearly has failed to realise that many of the 'community cohesion' projects or organisations that operate as community or cultural centres, actually have councillors or potential councillors...

Re: Councillors in Hyndburn - Are they fit for purpose?

Well I cannot see how someone cannot understand that if a project is not generating the desired outcomes, then the money ought to be channelled elsewhere.

Which brings me to my previous assertion...

Re: Councillors in Hyndburn - Are they fit for purpose?

Incidentally, I also note from your link that Ianto complained about not having received a renovations grant from the Council notwithstanding twenty years of effort. Perhaps Ianto ought to direct his...

Re: Councillors in Hyndburn - Are they fit for purpose?

Gayle,
Thank you for that. I perused the first page of the link attached but did not feel the need to scroll the rest. I gather from this page that the amount allocated to this project was £12000. ...

Re: Councillors in Hyndburn - Are they fit for purpose?

Mr Jones,

I know not the number off hand, save that it is an end terrace. I shall phone my source later today to obtain the same. I am sure that since former Councillor Sardar Ali had his details...

Re: Councillors in Hyndburn - Are they fit for purpose?

Councillor Jones,

Thank you for your comments. I agree that any mayor, or indeed Councillor should have a grasp of the English language. Otherwise he would not be in a position to serve those in...

You wrote ''Patience like money is a rare commodity and I for one get annoyed when someone wastes mine unnecessarily''

In that case do not bother reading this thread. Why are you...

Re: Councillors in Hyndburn - Are they fit for purpose?

Siddique is seeking to be the next Mayor of Hyndburn. That would make a mockery of the very idea of having a Mayor to both serve and promote the interests of Hyndburn. Thus the fact that he may fail...

Re: Councillors in Hyndburn - Are they fit for purpose?

There is no doubt that the visit by Reid is entirely based on the fact that this is a marginal Council. I suspect it shall not be for much longer since it is inevitable that Siddique shall not be...

Re: Councillors in Hyndburn - Are they fit for purpose?

I see the Community Development Fund has allocated funding to the ‘Why I Live Here’ project.
I wonder if Gayle would care to disclose the amount allocated to this project, and exactly what is hoped...

Some more from the Observer:
Labour leader Councillor Jones sais: ‘’It just goes to show that ministers do care about places like Hyndburn and are very interested in what’s going on’’

Re: Councillors in Hyndburn - Are they fit for purpose?

Re: Councillors in Hyndburn - Are they fit for purpose?

A question for Councillor Jones. He asserted that Mr Safdar’s affiliation to the Conservative Party was only known the day before the recent internal election. Yet this from the Observer yesterday:...

Clearly it has not registered. I only disclosed the content of Gayle's private message to me AFTER she incorrectly reported both the content and timing of our private exchanges. The...

Re: Councillors in Hyndburn - Are they fit for purpose?

Gayle,
I think it was you that suggested to me it was bad forum etiquette to disclose the content of private messages. Yet, in your post you have done exactly that!
Since you have skewed the facts...

Re: Councillors in Hyndburn - Are they fit for purpose?

There are only two ways of telling the complete truth - anonymously and posthumously.

Hence my current stance.

Re: Councillors in Hyndburn - Are they fit for purpose?

Gayle,

I have had a comprehensive discussion with you on these issues. I don't think there is any point in labouring the issue here again.

Re: Councillors in Hyndburn - Are they fit for purpose?

I think it was Churchill that once wrote:

Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened.

How appropriate to this thread.

Now for those that are not mature enough to engage in enlightened discussion on here and wish to resort to childish antics, please can you head back to the school playground.

This certainly applies to those like Gayle who seek to skew things away from the actual facts...

Less,

I think you would benefit from taking your own advice. It was you that directed abuse at me. Read your post again, since you seem to be suffering from a bout of amnesia.
