mr britcliffe
mr britcliffe has a quote in the observer, conservatives have turned the council around in the past five years, he must be kidding.
he brags about the over 60s enjoying a free trip to the sea side, and we all know this is only for a month . |

Hurrah for Hyndburn! Unfotunately it's the league table of poorest boroughs in the country, now putting us on a par with Tower Hamlets in London. It's also noted that no less an august journal as the Daily Telegraph, politically Tory to it's core, names Hyndburn as the most expensive council in Britain. I muist point out that all though this was on the same page as Britcliffe's tale, these facts come courtesy of Cllr. Jones. By the way, I don't know where Britcliffe does his shopping, but it sure as hell ain't in Oswaldtwistle. He says in his plea for votes that minced beef has gone up 64% last year, and bread has gone up 20%. Maybe it has in Harrod's Food Hall sunshine, but I can supply the names of both a local butchers and a bakers in Oswaldtwistle where there haven't been those increases, and if he actually shopped in locally he'd know that. |

Perhaps employing more refuse collectors rather than someone to search through ordinary folks waste, just to make sure they are recycling properly? Using a carrot for the donkey, i.e. "excuse me Sir, but this is our town please don't throw you fag end in the street", instead of people hiding and photographing offenders just to make an extra few pounds. I quite like our gentlemen that go around with their brush and shovel attempting to keep the streets clean, give them a bit of limelight, show people what a worthwhile job they are doing rather than paying over the odds for sneak Police. Educate the masses before you punish them! I know it's an offence to litter, but I'm sure that people would co-operate more to gentle persuasion than something like a £70 fine, the first time I'm caught for making a mistake, (I always try to remember to use a bin), will be the time I stop searching for a bin and just watch out for the camera! :) |

Even in my relatively short life time, it's so much worse than ten, twenty, thirty years ago. So many well loved business gone for ever, to be replaced by pound shops, empty shops, and always a sign that an area is on a steep decline, pawn brokers shops. |

I'm not arguing against you (unless you've looked up how they got the figure and happen to still think its accurate), I know you're just quoting it. |
