Not strictly speaking.
The Mayor is actually doing a good job of trying to maintain a level of dignity within the council despite one particular councillor exerting undue pressure on him to conform to his way of vot...er, thinking.
Cancelling the full council as a mark of respect wasn't objectionable but the Leader's refusal to reschedule it during September when the fate of the Market Hall hangs in the balance and almost certain defeat loomed in the air smacks of what Miles would call 'jerrymandering'.
The Chief Executive is also doing a good job holding the tatters of Hyndburn Council together whilst being duty bound to execute the controlling group's wishes. Hyndburn would have long ago passed the point of collapse if it weren't for his influence.
We all know the real reason for cancelling the full council and that would be the likely demise of the Area Management calendars. Think of all those lovely lovely votes from people just panting for Britcliffe's face to burst through their door every Christmas.
