Just out of interest, how much are the council tax payers of Hyndburn forking out for this lot? More than Britcliffe's allowances or Jones's mobile bill? Or do I have to do a FOI job?

We're selling tickets, Hyndburn Borough Council will underwrite the Strictly Stars if we don't make enough but I suspect we'll have not problems filling the place - we've got all the artistes (including Germaine) at very good rates - plus, the Germaine event is being co-hosted by Hyndburn Women's Forum and they have raised the money to bring her.
You can use FOI if you wish.
But as usual, your attitude does disappoint me. We need to be able to attract big names to the area - how often are people complaining about the tribute acts at the theatre or the lack of anything to do?
We're trying to get people interested in coming to Hyndburn, spending their money here and promoting the town. Negative attitudes like yours are why we're in the mess in the first place.
