How refreshing! but as a one of the people of Hyndburn i think I can safely say that I am not in the least taken in by the Idiot in Chief, nor are many members of this site.
I think part of the problem is that people recognise the faults and failings of the council but do not know how to make their voices heard or how to affect change other than by the ballot box, and an awful lot of damage can be done between one election and the next.

Quite right. HBC now has that much debt it would be an argument in itself for merging with Burnley and Pendle and Blackburn. The last 5 years have been disastrous for the ratepayer. Debts are now at £27million pounds [excluding Council House debts] and will cripple the Council for at least the next 10 years. Unless external monies are brought in I cant see how any improvements can take place over this time.
