I'd agree that things are currently being held back but in Hyndburn we have a controlling group who don't have overall control and so rather than allow democracy to take her own majestic course we have a ringleader who is himself jumping through hoops to get his own way. All energy is being wasted on consolidating his own position rather than improving the borough, the Market Hall being a case in point.
Britcliffe has to go sooner rather than later for there to be any real progress within Hyndburn. The party system will still be there and still be a lively animal but without a megalomaniac in charge there might be a chance to move forwards.
