LOl!..I didn't mean that in a demeaning sense, i have the utmost respect for my elders opinions!!
We all know over the years there are many things that Hyndburn Council have got wrong, but i do feel in general they have tried to make things better for shoppers, even if the end result has sometimes been woefull. I do feel that of late, the police seem to be rather lax in their approach to unsocial behaviour in the town centre though! If the Police were doing their job correctly, there would be no reason why benches could not be left there to be enjoyed by the decent majority.
