If only they'd kept it, and their total control, there would be nothing for them to complain about, in the lying stakes.

Life in Hyndburn was never quite the same again, after it's pitiful demise.

What was that figure again? £591,000 you say? Of public money?

As with the Market Hall, I'm sure they did a feasibility study with proper performance standards in place to ensure that the project had a reasonable chance of success. I doubt that they could have put together a website for any less, you can only shop around so much.

You wouldn't just put something in place without a bit of research first, would you? Imagine if a project cost around four times that sum and you didn't listen to people who knew what they were doing, can you imagine the nightmare that would be?
