A council that stands by and watches, as, after conning them into fighting a large out of centre retail park, Burnley and Blackburn council revitalise their own towns by introducing...wait for it...some out of centre retail parks and enticing high street traders into them..but hey..at least Hyndburn has its very own market hall shopper......yay..result!!
How about allowing a property developer to build houses on a playing field in Great Harwood, an MP who spouts platitudes about maybe perhaps speaking to people about thinking long and hard about the possible outcomes of taking away a playing field (note...speaking politic and not saying anything really)...then our beloved labour council go right ahead and pass the plan... reason...we need more modern houses..talk about playing both sides of the coin...wasn't it our labour council banging on about regenerating woodnook..because we need more traditional housing. People must be queueing up to buy both detached and terraced houses in Accy...probably because we'll have a nice warm bus station, with a coffee machine while shoppers wait for the connection to Blackburn, Burnley, Bury and Manchester.
And in the interest of political equality we have Britcliffe banging on about a major crime wave that needs alarm bells and more coppers...that would be the 0.00012% increase in shoplifting in Asda in the first 5 months of the year....of course thats nothing to do with the tory government, which he so heartily supports, screwing people so hard that they need food banks or to behave like Jean Valjean.
Bear in mind this is the council that has roughly 50% of its incumbents who dont pay their council tax on time...some of whom need more than one reminder, but seek shielding from name and shame under the data protection act.

You can't say that about our council. Hyndburn is an EXCELLENT council, or at least that is what a team of inspectors concluded.
The same team who were wined and dined at the council taxpayers expense, and put up at the Dunkenhalgh during their no expenses spared visit.
Rumours that their EXCELLENT verdict was in answer to a late night TripAdvisor questionnaire about the hotel facilities, rather than on any services the Council had to offer, are pure speculation.
