Re: Royal Wedding - The poll.
 

Teabag you will have to share with us how your council is royally planning to spend money celebrating this wedding.

Try as I might, all I'm coming up with is hard-line Muslim politicans, who haven't yet publicised your own programme in Tower Hamlets.

I did find your local anarchist group's plans, re: the royal wedding, but they seemed more violent, than celebratory in concept.

Re: Royal Wedding - The poll.
 

Dare ya:D

Re: Royal Wedding - The poll.
 

£240,000

Fireworks, street parties, etc.

Roads closed off.

Don't have the full details yet.

Happy now?

Re: Royal Wedding - The poll.
 

Wow!

A near quarter of a million budget.

Let's hope that figure shames our own council.

All we require now is evidence of that figure, from some offical source, and then yes, we'll be happy.

We'll wait for you to provide that...

Re: Royal Wedding - The poll.
 

Why should I waste time doing that? If you lot want to be a bunch of puritanical misers, then go ahead and find the evidence; me, I'm just happy to party.

Re: Royal Wedding - The poll.
 

No one here has the slightest problem with people having their own street parties, or that the council has waived the fee for any road closures that might occur because of them.

If people want to sit in the wind and rain, whilst eating their jelly and ice creams, with the wet bunting flapping above, good for them.

Though judging by the apathetic reaction on here, with even the ardent royalists apparently prefering to watch the wedding in the comfort of their own homes, it'll be interessting to see just how many street parties there'll be in Hyndburn.

The vast majority of people are objecting to money being spent on a programme of civic celebrations, that we are told will centre around the Market Hall.

Big difference.

;)

Re: Royal Wedding - The poll.
 

Offering proof, of something you posted?

Because otherwise it becomes meaningless, and some could say that it perhaps wasn't true.

That's why.

;)

Re: Royal Wedding - The poll.
 

The figure from one Borough to another means nothing, we're all in it together, your debt is my debt, be honest we don't need road sweepers or other such folk so long as WE ARE HAPPY.

Re: Royal Wedding - The poll.
 

So what's HBC's budget then?

Re: Royal Wedding - The poll.
 

Up yours. You started this nonsense about the LBTH/HBC comparison. You find it.

Everyone who knows me on here knows that my word is my bond. Do you want me to type this out in my own blood?

Re: Royal Wedding - The poll.
 

Ask Ken when he comes on later, his lot will have to pay for it when the bill arrives in May...

Re: Royal Wedding - The poll.
 

Well, I just hope he is a bit more accurate with his figures on the fireworks than he was on the eye-tie cook.

Re: Royal Wedding - The poll.
 

Er...that's what we all want to know.

If you'd read the thread (post 142) you'd see the question was asked and recorded in the minutes of a meeting in council chambers, but sadly not the Leader's response.

Any how, as it stands, to the question should HBC spend tax payers' money on a programme of wedding celebrations...

3 Hyndburn residents have voted yes.

46 Hyndburn residents have voted no.

As a small, yet diverse sample of residents in the borough, the people of Hyndburn have spoken, and said...

NO!
;)

He won't have to be accurate, He'll be in power.
:rofl38:

Re: Royal Wedding - The poll.
 

I couldn't find any budgets, or even an offical programme, to celebrate the royal wedding in Tower Hamlets.

All we ask is evidence the council's budget is £240,000.00, as you stated it was.

Once we know our own budget, we'll be able to make interesting comparissons as to the worth of each.

As posted, there's no hurry. We'll wait for you to provide the evidence.
