That is one bloody big hill to climb though at this present time, we just are not getting the money from central government that we need to invest in capital programmes.
Hyndburn has had the biggest cuts in grants of the entire country because officially we are spending more as a Council per resident than places down South.
Work that one out.

If a council can afford to allocate 20k looking at the viability of building a canalside development with shops, supermarkets and cafes for an area that doesn't really need it, whilst turning down the whitebirk plan, which offered pretty much the same for free, it just gives those halfwits in central government the ammunition to validate such savage cuts.
Go figure
