I have to laugh at how people like to blame Hyndburn Council for everything.
Take for example a story in this weeks Observer, "Cash cuts hit gritters as snowy weather strikes". The story says "Councillor Graham Jones has attacked Hyndburn Council for not gritting roads properly.......We knew about this weather for more than a week but with cuts in council budgets, vital services have been cut back". The article goes on to explain that Lancashire County Council pay for all the gritting and that Hyndburn actually carry out the gritting following Lancashire County Council policy. I would have expected one of our Councillors to have known that and got his facts rights before moaning to the paper.
Come on Graham complain and moan if you must but at least get your facts straight.
