Yes, it is overburdened with more than the usual compliment of Wilsonisms, but at the core is a cogent attempt to give the region the creative kick up the backside it so badly needs. For too long we have been content to be the victims of the decline in manufacturing industry, we have closed our ears and our eyes and our minds and retreated behind the net curtains in fear and dread of the changes and challenges that lie before us.
I, for one, think that this report makes an excellent starting place for Tomorrow. A copy should be posted through every letterbox in East Lancashire.

And that is all that I asked for when I posted this thread - an openness to at the very least consider some of the ideas.
I have a copy of the report so if anyone wants a copy pm me and I will post you one - you'll have to give me a postal address because I've only got a photocopied version myself.
