Also, I would think that the Foreign Office is well aware of what is going on, and does not need a local council to bring it to its attention. I believe that what most folks in Hyndburn want from local government, is what Kingstonians want from theirs: well-maintained streets, garbage pick up, fire and ambulance service, policing, etc. We are having freezing rain at the moment, and the sanders (gritters?) are out in force ... that's the kinda thing we want to see, eh.
Something else I found troubling: "a group resident in the borough from an overseas territory". Are these folks brits, or are they just hanging out over there?  |
We have the "Asian Community" Eric, which is fine by me, but if they want to carp on about whats happening in their country of birth, do it over there, and I can't for the life in me think why HBC should get involved and lets face it its not a party thing its all the numpties together
