Hyndburn Borough Council have pulled funding for the Community Festivals - this includes The Wizard of Ozzy, Baxenden Bash, Go Scatty in Gatty, etc and the big Mela and Community Festival in Oakhill Park.

I'm on the committee for the Mela and Community Festival and we currently have £300 in the bank. We need about £12,000 to put on a free event similar to last year. We're in the process of applying to lots of people - Big Lottery, etc to get the funding we need.

So the question is simple - do you want these events to go ahead?
