Advice noted and I appreciate the sentiment that goes with it but as someone's signature on here states, the opinions expressed are mine and mine alone.

It bothers me that public money is being wasted. I see it as my function to serve the borough of Hyndburn (with specific reference to Rishton) but as tax revenue from all wards goes towards Area Councils I see no benefit in allowing spending of that money to go unchecked by residents.

There is much that is not public knowledge and freely available if people know where to look but the sad fact is that most people don't know where to look.

We're in an age where everyone is feeling the pinch and yet money is being needlessly frittered away on our own doorstep. I am simply trying to curb this and get the best value for our money.

I'm in opposition, I'm expected to question the merit of the controlling group's policies!
