What does all that tell you? It tells me that the majority of people don't want markets anymore for their main shopping. Only the few that do moan about them being rubbish now.

When it comes to roads yes, HBC have little or no say. You need to speak with your LCC councillor. All part of the our 2 or 3 tier local government

Most parks in Hyndburn are protected from being built on but never say never. It would be good if LCC took a bit more interest in our parks and put some more money in, after all LCC get the biggest chunk of our council tax to play with
