Re: Now...This is silly and a complete waste of time
 

I used to live on an unadopted street, with an unadopted road leading up to it, we were told that WE had to have it tarmacced, and then the council would adopt it, different borough, same county... I am with the 'councillors look after themselves first' brigade, that isnt a dig at GJ, those roads needed doing, as does the bottom of newly laid Little street... again, and Oxford street junction is breaking up...again. The street down from me had the grass verges tarmaced, and the remaining street have not been touched, mind you, the tarmac laid where the grass used to be is probably the worst I have ever seen, and will be gone with the next decent freeze! Finally, didnt PB agree that MP's should be 'transparent' in a recent dummy spitting event?

Re: Now...This is silly and a complete waste of time
 

Andrew, I do not have a problem which needs 'face to face' dialogue.....but when someone enrols on a forum like this you would expect some kind of relevant contribution.
You would expect the person to be open and perhaps add to the forum with their experience and opinions....and there have been issues on here where the presence of
The Leader(as he designates himself...if it is him) could have been enlightening.

But no, it hasn't happened like that at all.
His last post on this thread was issued like a bulletin from 'Buck House'...methinks he has a highly inflated opinion of his own worthiness.......and that in itself, in a public servant...elected by people of this borough, is odious.
I would like to ask.....'Who died and made him King?'

Re: Now...This is silly and a complete waste of time
 

If he becomes a regular contributor to Accyweb, do you think he will persist with this convoluted style of addressing us mere mortals, even when he's posting on other sections of the forum?

Councillor Britcliffe has issued the following statement regarding the Rovers v Spurs match on April 4th: "I think that the Rovers played very well and went a long way to securing their survival...etc .etc"

Going to seem a little strange, isn't it? :rolleyes:

Re: Now...This is silly and a complete waste of time
 

Can I just point out several points on this issue.

The first point is that the decision to offer the chance to resurface Hodder St, Annie St and back Manor St was taking by Peel and Barnfield Area Council not Graham. Graham declared an interest and took no part in the decision.

I along with other colleagues have been trying to get something done about Hodder St and Annie St for years. Finally we have managed to get some money from the area council to get these streets resurfaced.

A letter has gone out to all those involved on Hodder St, Annie St and Manor St, explaining what the area council intended doing. Graham had no part in this. I delivered all the letters. On the letter it clearly states that as Graham has a personal and prejudicial interest on the project he would be taking no part in discussions regarding the scheme.

I have had several meetings at area council level to discuss the progress of the scheme. Graham rightly took no part in any of them. But interestingly the two Barnfield Councillors who have made the complaint against Graham were at the meetings. Not once did either of them make any complaint about Graham.

No surprises there then!

Thanks Bernard, very enlightening.:)
It's looking more and more like childish mudslinging all the time.:rolleyes:

Re: Now...This is silly and a complete waste of time
 

This involves Annie, Hodder, Manor St (back). They are un adopted and very bump, like a rutted farmers track. People want them doing and people not on them think they should be done. All the people on the doorstep said what has been posted above.

In March I delivered a leaflet to everyone in Peel saying I would improve them, as part of many improvements neccessary in Peel. I raised he issue at a public meeting of Annie, Manor, Hodder with the words (the 3 unadopted in Peel so no preferences), "I live on Hodder St and it is terrible" attended by the Cllrs Barton Dobson who are the people who have complained. When it got down to money and a quote from the contractors (£2000 for all 3) I stepped back and said I woundn't vote. I did not leave the room (Technically I should have). Cllrs Dawson, Barton and Dobson then voted for the roads to done. Residents were balloted and on the bottom it had a disclaimer for Hodder Street making it clear I would not be involved, and I haven't.

I am not a lamb, but a responsible councillor.

The Bus Station complaint I made was because The Leader has a shop and had stated that the Bus Station will not move from Peel Street. The Bus Station is a big issue. This is not. The Bus station involves a lot of money and there are big differences in opinion, mostly for it to move. That statement blocked major investment in Hyndburn.

Everyone agree's this should be done, even Conservatives voted for it to be done in a public meeting. No-one ever complained about me raising the issue. I have shouted I live on Hodder Street. The public want Peel improved including unadopted streets. There has not been one complaint against the work and around 60 in favour. 68% on Hodder, 67% on Annie and 48% (so far) on Manor.

I've criticised in this very thread. No, I wouldn't defend Hitler as you said a while back. :rolleyes:

Re: Now...This is silly and a complete waste of time
 

Word has it that one of the two is being considered as the Conservative candidate to stand in the next General Election.

Doesn't seem a good omen for having a good clean fight, if that is the case.

Re: Now...This is silly and a complete waste of time
 

I think in this case the two councillors who complained should be summoned to the 'Official Office' for a right good old fashioned boll-king?
