There is plenty that needs looking at in Hyndburn but the problem is that money is being thrown at pet projects rather than long term objectives. £500 for a Kabaddi tournament in Oswaldtwistle? Another dollop of cash to celebrate 10 years of Area Management Councils? We're in a recession, we should be stopping all this frivolous spending and channelling bigger amounts into what is important.
Hyndburn only really equates to St Andrews ward as far as Britcliffe is concerned, which is why all the really 'good news' is centred there.
In fairness to him, Peter has given Rishton (my ward) and the rest of the borough the free bus service to Far Corfe.
