You then get a situation where the big names are accused of driving independent traders out of business.

The super markets have killed the town centre & to add people are struggling with finance's .. Costa & Wetherspoons doesn't help the surrounding areas .. which is in much need of attention & the direction we are heading is a concern for all.

As far as I am aware this is now in motion and the funding has been sorted out. In Rishton we had a much smaller scale problem that the previous administration ignored. This too has been sorted out.

All am saying is you will never be able to see what its like , you live in a different world compared to what some people of the town see

If everyone had that attitude then there certainly wouldn't be. Fortunately, there are plenty of councillors who do give a damn and plenty of community groups that work bloody hard to improve their patch. Neil, moderator of this forum, is a good example of a hardworking member of his community. We have dozens in Rishton who really make a difference to the village and if it weren't for councillors working with volunteers then Hyndburn would be in a much poorer state.

Thats great & good to hear , Is this all part of the big society ?

Being pro EU is bad enough , This country will be split into regions & no one wants any part of it
