There's also a large proportion of local people post on here who, I'm sure, would love to be able to ask their local councillors questions.

As for Councillor Britcliffe, he laid himself open to mickey-taking by posting in a curious third person style. Funny how other councillors like Bernard, Graham and Clayton Ender don't feel the need to do that? :rolleyes:

If H.B.C. are worried not every resident has details of how to contact the council, and their councillors, perhaps a calendar should be sent out with the council tax bills, which contained all the necessary contact details. It could even run April to April, like the tax year.

After all every household receives one, unlike the current calendar/Christmas card lottery system we seem to have at present.

The cost of posting need not increase. They could just send the bills and calendar, and dump all the bumph about how to pay your bill in three other languages besides English, since Hyndburn still happens to be in England, at least nominally.

There's already quite a few ways in which the Council contacts people, without the need for calendars.

They were two people I hadn't had the need to pm before, and didn't really ask a question, so didn't need a reply, though good manners would usually illicit an acknowledgement of my missive.

Pig ignorant springs to mind.

Not naming names, but suffice to say one sports a blue rosette, and the other a red one.

Perhaps they might be more approachable come election time.

:rolleyes:

Yes two.

Is your memory failing you?

Both are Conservative councillors from Oswaldtwistle, one newly elected, and one who's been there for what seems way too long.

Just ask if you need anymore clues to which two Tory councillors have posted on the forum.

:D
