There are 28994 households who pay by cash in Hyndbrun of these 3386 households pay in cash at the Town Hall and another 884 households pay by cheque at the counter and 906 households send a cheque in to the Town Hall. This means that 17.85% of households use the collecting office. Only 6.78% of the electorate of Great Harwood voted in the Town Council 'consulation' but they this is going to be explored further.
At the Cabinet meeting Marlene Howarth welcomed this move, but for many people it is their only personal contact with Hyndburn Council. It also encourages people to use the shops in town after thery have visited the Town Hall.
