Any comment about the facts and figures the £3,000 it apparently costs Hyndburn to send three councillors to the one day Rural Conference?

Or did you miss seeing that because of your political blinkers?

It's mentioned in post 95 by the way.
As I say, trade unions are paying that in expenses. I don't know much about the rural conference but by the sounds of it, its not exactly 100% relevant to Hyndburn. I would take Jones £3,000 figure with a pinch of salt, he tends to be quite economical with the truth when it comes to economics.
