Seems to me back in the days of the old Accrington Borough and UDC councils, when things were run by a local unpaid council of volunteers and a paid town clerk things seemed to work well enough , there was a decent bus service covering the whole of Hyndburn and neighbouring towns , bins were emptied in all weathers and folk managed to get to work even during the deepest snow .
I'm thinking I once asked on here if any local offical could give me the tally of local council employees (Borough/UDC's) before the days of "Hyndburn" and the present day number of Hyndburn employees.
