I can't comment on him in council meetings.
I've known Peter Britcliffe since I was nine years old. We have many mutual friends, who think the world of him, away from the political arena.
Even though I've been publicly critical of some planned policies under his leadership, he's been nothing but professional, helpful, and very kind to me, and even exhibited his humorous side, as recently ago as last week.
He might be an ogre in council chambers, I don't know, but he's no fool.
I genuinely hope he realises that spending money on these celebrations in Hyndburn would be seen as foolish by many people.
I bet even William and Kate, who've called their happy day an 'austerity wedding', would agree.
