Some Councils widnes, like the City, Unitary and larger County Councils support business and have the knowledge and financial acumen to do it...but small district and borough councils have the specialist managers and accountants with time and desire to do it. As for the local councillors in Hyndburn they haven't the skills or background to understand what's necessary nor the knowledge about readily available Prudential Borrowing to support long term Capital Projects. Plus they've got their own headaches coming constantly from residents and local voters. In short, they neither have the skills, knowledge or understanding of business and only do what might get themselves re-elected.
