You’re like a petulant child with measles…..

What amenities are available Hyndburn? Can you stage major productions? What you are seeing is a natural progression in which larger towns tend to hold on to their resources longer, therefore they are able to cater to public demand.

Again it purely and matter of have everything in place. You need the amenities, resources and demand. But I would support other people in that in this instance the Theatre is not necessarily the domain of local council.

Not petulant Doug, just a little more enlightened on the subject than you apparently.

I've seen renowned touring productions at both the Town Hall in Accrington, as well as at Oswaldtwistle Civic Theatre. That was twenty years ago, and it was well attended.

This just isn't about theatre, for which myself, Lettie and Sparkologist have to travel to Manchester to see anything of quality, HBC are employing at least four workers in the arts, with our money, and I think they aren't doing enough whatever their remit is.

Re: I almost daren't post this...
 

Are you sure HBC are paying them. They may have been funded with a grant. Why don't you contact your Ward Councillor tomorrow and find out. Which ward are you in?

What you playing at Neal? :)

Re: I almost daren't post this...
 

Yes Gayle, I know you've said that the four arts development strong team are doing their job wonderfully, and are probably wonderful people, but perhaps the Council would be better cutting back on their jobs and focusing on other unappreciated jewels like Howarth Art Gallery, or wider community art than we have at present.

I changed my post to a PM thats all Doug

Re: I almost daren't post this...
 

Well we (HBC) did employ them until the end of the month Neil.

If only the Council could have balanced their books, we might have kept, and better utilised them.
