Its a different animal SJ and can't really be compared really, here would probably be around 120 councillors (I don't know for sure what other councils consisted of Ossy had 15 councillors in 5 wards) but of course councillors did the work out of the goodness of their heart without pay in those days. Even so I think overall to have say 6 different refuge collection services within a small area that is now Hyndburn would be utter stupidity today and that goes for a lot of other things too, I know lots of people would like to return to the old UDC set up but this day and age it would uneconomical and would overall cost a hell of a sight more
