Re: I almost daren't post this...

ime a bit reluctant to complain about the Panopticon project because unless somone else posts the word Panopticon so that i can copy and paste it i have no idea how to spell it lol

it makes me wonder if the name Panopticon was deliberatly used as people have a hell of a time spelling it so cant complain about it lol

ps:

we wont give you a hard time gayle we know your on a diet and we dont want to drive you to comfort eating and sitting down with a big tub of hargendas icecream

There is a new updated version of the Panopticon website online. Don't worry, there's nothing much about Hyndburn because there's still nothing much to say, but I thought you might be interested in the over all picture.

www.panopticons.uk.net

Carry on Gayle you fight that Britcliffe about the panopticon, Hyndburn needs things like the saucers and I know you are well in favour, keep up the good work

Though on the positive side, it is heartening to read that the Steering Group appear to be giving up on the idea of desecrating the Coppice

would argue a-b that the coppice was desecrated many years ago= when they planted those trees, i must be mellowing though gayle don't think the rossendale panopticans that gross!(and i ain't been drinking)lol happy new year.:)

Maybe I should have written "...desecrating the Coppice any further"

The new website is a vast improvement Gayle. It also gives Hyndburn Council's site a run for its money. That site has been 'in development' for years now!

Yes, the Freedom of Information Act ensures that all documents are available to the public. All you have to do is contact Hyndburn Borough Council's Freedom of Information Officer and they will furnish you with them. You have to go through HBC as they are the lead partner in this.

They are too busy doing "other things" other than the site.

Thanks Gaylee for the link. I have seen a lot of references to a panopticon on these pages but never really understood what anyone was talking about. Perhaps you would all like a bit of a laugh with this picture of a sculpture. It has been placed on the footpath of the main st. in my local town of Childers after an extensive street beautifying scheme. Not exactly a Panopticon but an item that cost the local council AUS$58.000. If anyone can tell me what it is supposed to represent I will give you half of my ackers.

:D :D Actually no Tealeaf. I first heard what it was supposed to be before I saw it in an article in the local paper. I never thought of anything Abo or animal, but I like the guess. When I first saw it my reaction was" you've gotta be joking":rolleyes: I personally would have never guessed.

I can hardly contain my curiosity but me and Busman think it looks rude.

Re: I almost daren't post this...

Hi Willow. Most of the locals have described it as 'the local mayor doing a big dump'However I'll let you know what it is because I have diverged from the main thrust of this post and I must apologise to Gayle for that. It's supposed to represent a volcano?????:confused: :D

Re: I almost daren't post this...

They must have some funny volcanoes round your way Terry. :D

You know I'd almost prefer that on the top of the Coppice than "High Form" or whatever it was called.

How exactly are these icons going to do that? I don't get it, how are they imroving and how are they regenerating
