Hyndburn Borough Council has shown its support by passing a resolution to use only Fairtrade tea and coffee in it's meetings.

Will we have signs when entering Hyndburn, saying 'welcome to a Freetrade Borough'?
I remember living in loony Lambeth in the mid 80's, signs were erected informing me that I was living in a 'nuclear free borough', though I don't remember having a say on what my taxes were spent on, regarding armaments.
How much would the bill be for the council coffee slurpers, if it didn't use Freetrade coffee, and what about tea? Can't they find a Freetrade Earl Gray?
