1. A point not made. In Hyndburn, Area Council monies have been used to put scrappings down and crush them in, to improve for a short while unadopted roads. Certainly in Altham by Labour and I think elsewhere by Tory. No-one objected then to this type of work or budget source. It has been generally accepted at A/C's as ok.
2. I have been granted £115,000 of Lottery for Neighbourhood Management and whilst not the Council (they are not very good at filling in Lottery Forms Neil

), we will be doing precisely that (amongst other things), improving people's garden walls, railings etc...
