I was going to say that too. And it works both ways, the Conservatives are doing lots of 'aren't HBC really good type stories' and Labour the opposite. Practically every page is full of 'Hyndburn Borough Council this Hyndburn Borough Council that' - I agree, both sides of it are as frustrating as each other.
But, the simple fact is that the Accrington Observer carries a lot of sway, there are a lot of people who read it in the area and so it's important for both sides to have their say in it. In April we reach Purdah which means that the paper has to ensure that each party gets equal coverage and so stories should reduce dramatically about HBC itself as that could be seen as biased coverage. That's why there's so much in at the moment, we're working up to the last couple of weeks before it all has to go a lot quieter.
