Rindi I accept your position but what the hell are we talking about?
Why not answer the question of where your taxes have been spent on a national level...or does this hurt?

Can I just enlighten you about something that is the Rishton's councillors are attempting to get started in Rishton (in fact the first meeting took place last night). They are attempting to set up Neighbourhood Management in Rishton, with the help of the Area Council staff, but without any funding from HBC being available. The money spent on Area Council calendars (£1500) in the 3 Areas that they were delivered (Peel & Barnfield, Oswaldtwistle and Great Harwood) could have been used to help set up this important scheme in Rishton.

As for my 'position', it's a position where I'm genuinely free to speak my mind, and say what I think is right and wrong.

Unlike other's on here my 'position' isn't hindered by by any political allegiance, and having to worry that I'm not following the party line.

You replied to Claytonender's post, where she said...

'Which is something that your son Andrew disagrees with, he thinks it is better for the Council Tax payers of Hyndburn to pay for the production and delivery of Area Council calendars.'

Other than the calendars, which I honestly understand as being a fairly straightforward and accurate statement, why is what she posted wrong? So wrong in fact that it prompted you to go back on your word, and post once again?

You quite obviously disagree with the funding of the Conservative calendars, as shown by what you'd said in the 'Britcliffe Monthly' thread, and which I quoted earlier.

Yes but would you have seen them if they had been posted through your door?

Your voting card for the local elections, that by law is sent to everyone on the Electoral Register, was posted to you, and that quite clearly states the ward you live in, in big bold print, yet you obviously didn't see that, because earlier you said you had no idea which ward you lived in.

Don't let them push you into a corner. I'd feel completely dishonest if you were going about in secret agreeing with me. You were open and transparent, good on you for it. People will only use the mother and son connection when they do not have a better argument. Laugh it off. ;)
