Gayle, that's rather naive of you! Just because the Government awarded it doesn't mean Hyndburn HAD to spend it. If Hyndburn hadn't gone ahead and 'squandered' it(your words) on 'crochet sculptures' etc. then surely the Government would still have it? To spend on something more essential. I love the attitude of 'If we can get some money get it. Now, what can we blow it on?'.
