A 100k pot for what? Has a full 100k been put to one side for doing up all of our empty shops? Or is it part of a squanderlust fund that can be dipped into for just about any hairbrained schemes someone comes up with?

From what I understand this story broke in the Obbo, perhaps they thought it important enough to sensationalise this ridiculous state of affairs, money that could be better spent during these austere times on real projects that would actually help the community of Hyndburn.
