At the time I wasn't that bothered were they came from.What we needed in Accrington was jobs.Airtours created quite a few new jobs once they moved in.Hyndburn Homes didn't move in until much later.

Re: This what we are up against
 

In your original statement you said 1000 new jobs were created which was not the truth, the majority were transfers from other areas or departments within Hyndburn, thats all I was pointing out

Re: This what we are up against
 

The vast majority of the jobs came from outside of Hyndburn. In order to qualify for the funding we had to show that in the bidding document. There was a very very small percentage of jobs that can could from within Hyndburn. And it was small

We would not have got Single Regeneration Money or the European Funding, had we been just shifting jobs around in Hyndburn.

Re: This what we are up against
 

I repeat what you said in your original post 1000 NEW JOBS WHERE CREATED

Re: This what we are up against
 

They were new to Hyndburn. Companies paying business rates, people spending money in the town supporting local business's. Plus saving that area were the Globe is situated from being a derelict area. A good Labour Council in action. I thought you'd be impressed.

Re: This what we are up against
 

I'd have been more impressed if they had spent as much time and effort on the town centre, instead of putting it on the road to rack and ruin, but off course the leaders business associates were involved in the Globe centre, so the tow centre had to take a back seat
