Right yes...for the people of Oswaldtwistle. As the vast majority of people in the borough seem to see it.
The blue faithful haven't realised yet that the people of the whole borough didn't elect the Leader of the Council, his fellow Tory councillors did.
When he could have claimed a mandate from the people of Hyndburn, that they wanted him to lead them, in two different General Elections, they decided against him..twice.
Which perhaps is some sort of a mandate from the electorate, after all.

should probably be a new thread " who contributes most to Hyndburn" but here goes ...... are there any figures available showing which of the Hyndburn 'townships', Accrington/Gt.Harwood /Rishton/Clayton/Oswaldtwisle/Church/Altham. Contribute the most per head of population thru council tax to the Borough after deducting all amounts subsidised by council tax relief .
just curious
