It has always amazed me that Hyndburn is run by the Conservatives. An outsider would justifiably ask "What on earth have they got that they want to conserve?"
I'm told that the Conservative traditions in Hyndburn reflect the high level of owner occupancy in the grid iron streets, where people tended to think themselves as self supporting and above the working class Labour Party.
There is also the fact that the Liberal Democrats are virtually non existent in the Borough, so the voters are faced with a stark choice between Labour and Conservative. To vote one party out, you have to vote the other lot in.
So the Labour lot may well have let us down. Therefore we have the Conservatives.
