Britcliffe's words that this will not cost anything, may come back to haunt him. I will make it my personal goal to find out all the true costs, if this change goes ahead.

By the way, Chamber of Trade?

I didn't know charity shops were allowed in those.

Accrington is dieing on it's arse, due to these incompetents on the council, who I wouldn't trust to manage a jumble sale, never mind a multi-million pound budget.

Still, if you can't succeed in the real business world, at least being in the Town Hall keeps them off the streets.

Maybe there'll be more about it in the Observer tomorrow. I don't think it was ever said that changing the name would cost nothing, what was said by the council at the start was that to change the name would cost in the region of £20,000 but it was stressed that it would not cost us any extra on next year's council tax. We will not see proof of that until we get our new bills next March.
