[Margaret Pilkington]

You are right......we can't afford a knees up......if we can't afford a public convenience, then how can we afford a celebration?

So Hyndburn buying a few fireworks is going to boost the national economy....give over!

The rental of a large screen TV for the Market Hall is not going to do much for the national economy either.......bunting and flags, we probably still have some left over from the last Royal wedding.
I don't think we are a borough of Cromwellian Puritans/Mad Mullahs, we are just realists who want to see our money spent wisely on things that will benefit the people of the borough.......not give an ego boost to the leader of the council.
