I just don't see how HBC can influence a multinational company to stay in Hyndburn.
she means well,but very futile.

The fact of the matter is that building firms have mothballed sites and have stopped building as no one is buying, can't see how the council can do anything about that, if houses aren't being built nobody wants bricks

Tesco are building supermarkets though. Couldn't the council insist on the use of local products in the construction?

Not sure but I think they did with the Arndale multi-story car park.:confused:

Hmmm. Clare Pritchard said that, didn't she?

I didn't understand that comment either, Neil......like HBC are to blame for a brick company folding because, among other things, houses aren't being built and the country's in a bad financial way. :confused:

How about blaming the government running the country?

she's probably got a needless guilt complex.

Maybe she is referring to any lack of incentives that the council offers to attract businesses. Whilst it might mean a lack of money to offer rate free periods etc it does have the benefit of keeping people in work who can then pay council tax etc.

OMG I'm getting involved in politics, I better take some pills :D

If the council were to help one struggling company it would have to help them all otherwise it would be unfair and that is not possible.

It is unfair to suggest that HBC could have kept the brick company open. :(

I agree with Lilly, just look at what Joseph Arnolds did. They built the Berlin wall at Church and when the rate free time was up moved most of the jobs out of town!!

I agree with Lilly to a large extent. I don't expect the council to bail out large companies but I'm sure there are ways to attract small companies to set up, which hopefully will in turn grow large enough to start employing local people. I think the days of the large companies in towns like Accrington are long gone, alternatives need to be found

Most things are cheaper and better quality if you shop in town. However supermarkets do offer the convenience for people with busy lives.
