Call for cut in number of councillors
Call to cut number of councillors for East Lancashire (From Lancashire Telegraph)
There is a call for the number of councillors in places like Hyndburn Rossendale, Burnley and Pendle. I agree to an extent, I have long been in favour of a Unitary Authority here in Hyndburn, and a complete streamlining of the council and what would be a better time to do it than now |
Re: Call for cut in number of councillors
I thought the general opinion was Hyndburn is to small on its own to be a Unitary Authority

I suppose the first saving would be no County Councillors

Re: Call for cut in number of councillors
The average councillor in Hyndburn represents 2027 .
In Bolton it's 4300 , and on Manchester City Council 5092 . If we are all in it together , and there have to be cuts all round , bankers excepted , the number of councillors should be cut . |

Re: Call for cut in number of councillors
I quote from post # 3 on this thread:
"..We've both been out seeing residents this evening and posting Christmas cards.." Could someone please explain why it is neccessary for elected councillors to spend time pounding the streets shoving junk mail through respectable peoples' front doors? Surely if this is the best defence that Hyndburn councillors can come up with, then the sooner they are reduced in number, the better. |
