Your views are perfectly valid Wynonie. Everyone's views are valid. My view is merely that it's easier to have a view when it doesn't actually affect one personally in the pocket or ameneties regions.

It's like me having a view on something which Luton council propose. It wouldn't affect me personally but it may well affect members of our family living down there and I would think of the implications for them first of all and consider that perhaps their views should be taken into consideration before mine because it actually affects them and not me.

Or another example is regarding schools. I may well have opinions on something affecting a school in the borough but if my children don't actually go to that school then I wouldn't expect my views to rank alongside the views of those whose children do attend that school.

I'm sorry if this offends any AccyWebbers who don't live in Hyndburn. I didn't mean it that way. It's just that it seems logical to me.
