Maybe, just maybe we need an outsiders input into how to attract new employers. After all the present lot don't seem to be to bothered!!!!

Where she comes from may be a problem. Her current policy she says is to slash funding (including Hyndburn) to get the deficit down. Hyndburn receives a huge amount of Government funding and a lot of jobs will be affected, let alone reductions in schools, hospitals, housing, the Council etc.. I understand these issues and prefer Gordon Brown's managed reduction whilst fighting for the place I live.
Greg Pope MP has had a Labour Government pumping money in to Hyndburn.
There are significant employers in Hyndburn. The Globe employs around 800 people. We do seem to have relied on Blackburn, Whitebirk area and Shadsworth to name to new areas of growth. However there is Senator and Huncoat. This is hardly a replacement for Rists etc.. and all the others that have gone.
Employment is one of top priorities.
Ms Buckley has said her priorities are her leaders (David Cameron's), not Hyndburns. For me it is the other way around.
