One of the stated aims of Hyndburn Borough Council is to raise the public profile of the Borough by encouraging tourism. In the last few weeks we have had a Continental Market, a procession of community groups carrying decorated bed sheets on poles, a municipal cake cutting at the Town Hall and a new flower bed at the end of Hyndburn Road.
I don't know about anyone else, but somehow I don't think that HBC has quite got it's act together on this.
Has anyone seen this months 'Lancashire Life'? It has a four page spread on the annual Transport Festival, regarded as one of the major transport festivals in the North West. It has been going now for twenty years and draws crowds numbered in the tens of thousands.And this in a small, one industry, town!
Sort of makes the procession to mark Hyndburns 30th Birthday look a bit sad. Or maybe you disagree? What do you think could or should be done to turn Hyndburn into a tourist hotspot and make the Borough a place that people would want to visit and keep coming back to?
