I strongly disagree with the assertion that the issue should never have been discussed by the Council. The Council is there to represent the worries and concerns of the local community, and when the local community consists of a large Asian community, then the issues that concern them should be aired.

Gobledgoock gynn, HBC is the body that represents the people living in Hyndburn not 10, 000 miles away, if people who come from abroad and wish to get involved in whats going on "back home" the place to do it is not in the council chamber under the banner of HBC, sorry gynn
