Gayle, you have painted a pretty picture so far but those that have designs on the coppice (Oops, no pun intended) have NOT taken into consideration the views of the locals that use the coppice, the local population that live around the coppice and the fact that it holds fond memories in the hearts of the many that were brought up in the area and they do not want change!

Also, can I bring to your attention an article in this weeks Accrington Observer in which they quote Peter Britcliffe, spokesman for the HBC (and NOT one of my favourite peope) but for once, he is making good sense!

ACCY OB: "But after weeks of controversy, it has again been met with a firm "NO" from Hyndburn Council leader Peter Britcliffe"

P. BRITCLIFFE: "How many components of the word NO do these people understand and how many parts of the words NO NO NO do they not understand?
I have been hearing how the tide is turning but I have had people contacting me over the weekend saying there were only about 20 people at the public meeting including officers, and even out of those not everbody was in favour.
The council has rejected the idea of a Panopticon and, from the response we have had since, it would seem that there would be a possibility of having something that includes a picnic area and the paths being done up and perhaps some small token monument relating strongly to the features of the borough.

Good on 'yer P.B.

After this press release, can you still hope to make major structural changes to the coppice Gayle? and perhaps Peter Beard could design a nice picnic table for us?
