This "blue sky thinking" malarky is all very well but, where is the money? As others have observed we have seen so many false dawns that motivating people to enthuse about yet another one is going to be an uphill struggle to say the least.

I was thinking about this at work today. We all know HBC are about as useful and efficient as a chocolate fireguard when it comes to securing government handouts. Otherwise Hyndburn would be the bustling hub of the county instead of the embarassment that it now is.

Why can't we gather together and decide what needs to be done and then apply for the funding ourselves and only involve HBC when it is absolutely necessary?

It doesn't cost much to set up a limited company and I think "The People of Hyndburn Limited" has a certain ring to it. We could sell shares at a pound a go to fund the application process.
