Not to rain on Garinda's parade by resurrecting this thread on his behalf but the fate of this illustrious publication rests on the meeting of the full council on 14th September.

I am moving to have them abolished. Monstrous I know, particularly in view of the pleasure we've all had in taking the mickey, but several thousand pounds of public money is at stake in order to duplicate the excellent recycling calendar and enable Peter to start next year's election campaign at the expense of the taxpayer.

I know some of you will be sad to see them go if I am successful but it seems that the council leader is rather keen for them to stay. Not 24 hours after my proposal hit the desk at Scaitcliffe House, all Area Management chairs received phonecalls to see if they wanted a calendar this year.

My Rishton counterpart, Cllr Harry Grayson, replied firmly in the negative with the request that we could have the money to do something really useful instead.

We await their reply.
