On the point of a local contractor being given the job, if HBC or LCC are involved then contractor selection will have to comply with standing orders, that is the project tendered, and the contractors on the tender list will be from the authorities rotational list of contractors for that type of work.
I don't disagree with you park but what if that contrators for that type of work are not on the list? they go elsewhere hence no money for Accrington and being a council project there will always be a reason that they don't have to comply and if they don't whats going to happen to them? nothing, not like the contractors can do anything about it or the people of Accy, they will do as they please and pull the wool over peoples eyes for as long as they can get away with it. They changed the date of the meeting for a footy match anything happen to them for that, not a thing except a few less vocal people went to the meeting this time.
