from this weeks accrington observer neatly typed out by me just for you less ... :D:D:D By the way its on page 8 ...

WEBSITE IS A 'WASTE OF MONEY'

A labour councillor has branded a community website a 'waste' and called for it to be taken down.

The Hyndburn Life portal was first launched in 2003 with the aim of providing online information about services available to some of the borough's most deprived wards.

But the website has failed to attract many visitors and in 2006, was branded a waste of money by labour leader councillor graham jones.

At a meeting of the full council on tuesday the website once more came under fire.

Councillor Jones said "They spent £700,000 across the country on this website but the leader tried to say it was a government failure. Can he tell me when will this waste be removed from the web so we will all have done with it?"

Council leader Peter Britcliffe disputed councillor Jones' figures. He replied "the figure was not £700,000, that is another cock-eyed idea. It was a measure which was done by the government and it was brought to every borough and city to make information more accessible. But they tried it too late and it failed here, just like it failed everywhere else."

Cash to fund the project consisted of £75,000 from the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister, £266,000 from the single regeneration budget and a further £250,000 from the European regional development fund.


Now i need a brew .. especially after seeing mr britcliffes face peering out on page 14 ...

Well, thanks for that, I had no prior knowledge of this, I think what must have happened is that because it had been discussed a few people had been to the website to have a look for themselves and that could have brought it up googles list so when I asked about topsoil we got the following interpretation:-

Top soil= manure,

manure= pile of sheet,

pile of sheet=Hyndburn lite.

:D

The time line seems wrong to me though, it's claimed to have been launched in 2003, but, the thread I put links to was saying that it went 'live' in 2005, so what happened during the 2 years between launch and it blocking new members from signing in, Er' I mean going public?

:confused:

re: Hyndburn Life - Well Would You Believe it?
 

i dont know .. i only typed out what the accy observer said ...

re: Hyndburn Life - Well Would You Believe it?
 

Shillelagh, I don't have an Observer yet. Did you make a typo when you wrote 'country'? If you didn't then this makes me more confused. Was it our council that spent £600,000, or was it a government scheme across the country that cost £600,000? :S

re: Hyndburn Life - Well Would You Believe it?
 

excuse me .. im a typist i dont make typing mistakes .. i always check ..

anyway in the accy observer it says country .. its on page 8 .. so when you get it tomorrow check it for yourself ..

re: Hyndburn Life - Well Would You Believe it?
 

Was only asking as it didn't seem to make sense as I didn't think 'country' had been mentioned before. I believe you! :D

re: Hyndburn Life - Well Would You Believe it?
 

now if accy observer has got it wrong i cant be held responsible for them .. but i only typed what i read ...

re: Hyndburn Life - Well Would You Believe it?
 

Wow Less do you think that others do not read all the posts posted before? Shame on them!

re: Hyndburn Life - Well Would You Believe it?
 

What an idiot, new to Social websites are you?

You are starting to become a little like piles, rather irritating and of no use to anyone.;)

I get the feeling you have joined the site not to converse with others, but to to bring us all into line with your petty way of thinking.
:(

Please do not think you are unique, there have been others before you and when you finally realise it is you that is out of step not the rest of us, you will go the same way as they did, save us the aggravation, go now, or if you want we can start you your very own thread exclusive to you and you can spend your time in there arguing with yourself.

Sadly wasting the public's hard earned money seems to be common aim of some, as witnessed over the years, and this quotes from a Tory supporter.

One of the featured residents on the site, even though he apparently lives in Manchester, was the crimper and snipper who suggested in the press that Accrington should have a Gay Pride parade. The one who also slapped the Asian girl shop assistant.

I was going to give the link in the recommended hairdresser thread.

Though sadly this is no longer possible.

Oh well, at least the girl who wants a hairdresser won't get a slap, if she didn't give him a big enough tip.
