Yes, to be honest I don't know exactly where Peter Britcliffe is coming from. I think he's taking his steer from the Accrington Observer and vice versa. At each stage we've been collecting forms and letters and the majority are honestly in favour of it. So he doesn't even seem to be pandering to public opinion either. I am as puzzled as anyone by his reactions but he does wield a tremendous amount of power of the Council and unless he's on board wholeheartedly the project will collapse around our ears. Please don't cheer! Joking!
