Cllr Britcliffe has kept out of Globe Enterprise's [just] and thats making a healthy profit for the Hyndburn public [as well as jobs, regen etc..]. Mind you he was pushing to shut that down and sell it off some months back.

There are loads of people capable in Hyndburn, we just elect people as Cllr Hamilton said "who are self serving". Thats why demcracy is in crises.

Maybe the Labour Group should heighten its public profile and begin by electing individuals that are less self serving and are prepared to serve the electorate of the Borough and turn it round. I am sure from what I’ve read on this site that there is growing support for change.
