How about cutting all council salaries in excess of say £30k p.a. by half? For example, if you get £40k now, you end up with £35k? That way the ordinary employee is not badly affected, and the number of jobs does not reduce?

I know this is not directly Hyndburn council expenditure, but what on earth is happening on the M65/A56 every night near the M65/A56 junction?

It has been going on for well over a year now. Cones and workmen out in all weathers. The result so far is a traffic island if you are turning up the A56 coming from the Colne end of the M65. That was completed a few months back, but they are still up to something. I doubt these people are being paid peanuts for whatever it is they are up to, so the cost to date must be astronomical.
