A long list of Government funded announcements.

From our view;
• Velco fastened recycled bags are to be introduced (Labour idea taken on by Conservatives) We reduced costs from £150,000 to £38,000
• Working Mens Clubs and Cricket Clubs to receive 80% rate relief. £10,000
• Labour Councillors (independent) Neighbourhood Management projects to take over failing Area Councils
I make this point because Jaysay and AndrewB howl we don't contribute which has never been true. Again 'the race to the bottom' they try to promote.

I notice you neglected to inform people how your Labour government are failing to fund Hyndburn properly. If they'd increased our grant by the average amount across the country, we'd probably be enjoying a 0% council tax increase. Never mind though, don't let the truth get in the way of a good bashing of the Conservatives eh.
