Hyndburn Council Web Site
 
The Hyndburn Council web site trumpets that it is an "Excellent" Council, but its news page is 1 to 2 months out of date. The Leaders viewpoint talks about what is happening tomorrow (June 26th) and the Annual Meeting of the Council will apparently be held on 26th May.

Not altogether certain what you mean Gynn. Think it is fair enough. The Leader's Viewpoint covers all types of events which are still ongoing/some held and general comments. Will probably change when none of it is useful ... or when Cllr. Britcliffe has something else to inform us of... sure won't be long.

Only mistake there is was issued on Thursday 24th June and quoted an event for 'tomorrow' but did quote the date and day of Saturday 26th June. This would be nit picking. Something before schedule for a change ...LOL.

All meetings are held there on a list and also show past and current meetings ?

Errr ... well, the Leader's Viewpoint covers all events ... some have gone, some on going plus his other viewpoints. So nothing wrong with it still being up there.

There is a list of all council meetings ... some gone (with reports) and some to come.

Savvy?

If anyone else found my explanation difficult, please let me know and I will try and do better. :rolleyes:

Nearly three months on from my above post, and the website is STILL telling us that the Annual Meeting will take place on 26th May.

How sloppy is that? Surely there is someone at the Council charged with looking at the website news more often than once every 5 months?

This reminds me of a story about a neglected public website who had their domain name taken over when they 'forgot' to pay for it.

Without a link, you are spreading rumour and hearsay, or maybe it's one of your local myth's? because I know someone that paid for a web site address and yet someone comes on here regularly and still claims it to originally be his!

The best one I ever heard was a bloke called Michael Rowe who set up www.mikerowesoft.com and was given firm instructions from Microsoft not to use it anymore.

Not sure of the legalities surrounding it as it was some years ago but it made me chuckle that one man brought on the wrath of a huge corporation like that.

Someone is paid to read this every day during working hours, simply to make sure nothing libellous is being written about the Leader's Office.

Even more of a reason to trim the fat next May, should the administration change.

I should just point out that reading Accyweb isn't their sole occupation, but if you really want to stir up a hornet's nest then come online between 12pm and 2pm and write something truly wicked about the controlling group.

First two rules of survival in politics as far as I can see:

1. Don't be afraid to admit sometimes that you've cocked up

2. Be able to laugh at yourself

I held a surgery in Rishton last week and a long-running sore point came up which I thought we'd sorted out in July but it turns out we were badly informed. To try and defend a wrong decision that wasn't really our fault would have been absolute suicide, the residents were far more appreciative of a bit of honesty that things hadn't gone according to plan.

Thanks for the karma!

Survival, perhaps, but to succeed in politics, here are three better rules.

1. Don't be afraid to admit that other people have cocked up.

2. Be able to laugh at others.

3. Tear up the rule book.

What a fool I am. These stock answers have been staring me in the face for months:

1. It's Graham Jones' fault for having two houses.

2. It's 13 years of Labour rule.

3. Look at what the previous administration got wrong.

John, as you have pointed out so often before, I have a lot to learn.
