We already have things which are not patronised so why build yet more to be ignored? We also need to think of the rest of the population and try to make Hyndburn more appealing to all ages and that includes decent housing and decent shops and some interesting places to go.
BTW - where would these guitar teachers (just one example) come from and who would pay their wages if the lessons were going to be offered for free? Oh, wait a minute, could it be financed by the council? Hmmmm, a council tax increase maybe?

...which is why i said there needs to be a willingness of young people to get off their jacksy
BTW if you look at the context in which i said guitar tuition could be made available, it was only a suggestion as to what people could do.
...as for the funds; why not shift some of the funds which are being wasted on those strange metal things in the middle of broadway over to positive development?
like i said im not an architecht or an accountant - im just providing an opinion as to what this town needs.
