Re: Councillors expenses

Ken Moss ...(town center thread ) ..I've spent a fair bit of time in Accy this past six months and as someone who hasn't grown up here I'm not as critical as those who have watched its decline.

(sorry don't know how to join two threads together )

In my view, civil servants enact policy, councillors take the credit or the blame for their own ideas.
not being critical Ken .. but maybe you need to ask one or two of your Labour colleagues who have lived in Hyndburn for a few more years than you about a chap with the surname Rix , seem to remember he used to wield quite a bit of power when he was a Council employee ... whatever happened to him

am sure Jaysay can add to the story ..
