'Hyndburn Local' was then set up, a public forum and decision making committee maade up of the 6 Hyndburn County Councillors to fulfill the devolution/local decision making. 6 District Councillors were invited but the Tories refuse to go or send anyone. Childishly too, The Tories stopped 'Hyndburn Local' hosting any meetings in Hyndburn Council buildings.

This reads like a sort of red tape cutting exercise but the lack of suport and help from certain areas of influence are killing that. Or maybe its a case of spitting the dummy. Anything that is suposed to help the area needs to be embraced by all because if not it will fail in the long run.
Who has the better understanding of an Area's needs County Council or Local Council? If the tit for tat infighting doesnt stop all will lose n dosnt matter who did what it will be all to blame. |
