You are quite right, I am a member of a number of community groups but at no point have I had any contact with Cllr Siddique - however, I doubt whether he'd want to join Hyndburn Women's Forum or be involved with a drama group.

I suppose the one you would imagine that he might get involved in would be the Mela and Community Festival - he has not attended any meetings of that, however, Cllr Brian Roberts has been a regular attendee so we have had council representation.

And, in all fairness to Brian, he has been a valuable member of the committee lately and has delivered when he's said he would.
