Could someone please explain to me what the object of this costly exercise was supposed to be? Was it to "celebrate" 30 years of Hyndburn misgovernment or was it to formally dedicate the memorial to the Pals? I cannot see how anyone can justify mixing the two events

Surely the memorial should have been commemerated at it's own distinct and worthwhile ceremony? The call for this long-overdue reminder has not come from the local politicians but from all sorts of people over the years; the memorial itself does not appear to be complete (I would assume there are to be flagged surroundings) so why has this been rushed, other than to help to justify the Councils 30 year shindig?

And that itself apears to be a joke. Just what the hell are those two pike-carrying policeman supposed to be doing? Is this Doug & Sandra's - our dynamic crime fighting Tsars council duo - latest get-tough-on-hooligan initiative? And who's the woman who looks like she's just stepped out of a hearse? Can someone explain?
