Irrespective of Britcliffes' posterings, are you telling us that you abstained on the vote on this? Could you tell us why? Councillors are elected - irrespective of their party - to make decisions on our behalf. We are not interested in empire building or grand titles, but simple and effective decision making. If you can't do it, then I suggest you don't stand next time round.

I'm with Tealeaf on this. I don't give a hoot that the funding for the pantopticon comes from external sources. I just don't want to see any ludicrous structure on top of the Coppice. It would appear from the Observer poll that the majority of Hyndburn resident's don't want it either. For once it seemed that popular opinion was being listened to.
We need councillors who are interested in what the people of Hyndburn think. To abstain from voting for reasons not connected with the panopticon itself strikes me as somewhat irresponsible.
