Re: Royal Wedding - The poll.
I haven't posted much in this thread because I have already expressed my opinion in the Market Hall one(I think)....but for the record, I voted with the 'No' gang because in these times of financial austerity, I think it is wrong to cut services(I would rather have the public conveniences open, than a pointless party to celebrate a Royal Wedding) and then splurge public money on something like this.........again, it is like going to the pictures when you have no food in the house.
Must be the influence of my Methodist/Catholic upbringing.......the one where you choose essentials over the fripperies. |

Big fat NO from me. Money would be better spent on more important things.

I think Cashy's referring to those who voted that HBC should spend money on this wedding celebration, who don't live in the borough, but who haven't posted why. Which of course is their right. Though it would be interesting to know their reasoning. |

Re: Royal Wedding - The poll.
Let me make it clear, every single member is entitled, and indeed very welcome to vote in this poll. From Burnley to Beijing....press your buzzers now!
However, since the thread is about whether Hyndburn Council should be spending tax payers' money on public celebrations, regarding this wedding, personally I'm more interested in local public opinion. Which can be assessed because it's an open poll. So far, it seems the vast majority of people whose council tax will pay for it, don't seem very keen, to say the least. |
Re: Royal Wedding - The poll.
Well, the reason I voted is that, although I no longer live in the area, I still regard myself as an Accy lad and I care very much about what happens to the town and, its surroundings.
Incidentally, the reason why I didn't post my views originally was because it's a no-brainer - obviously it's sheer folly to squander public money on Royal Weddings when basics like public toilets are being closed down - and I assumed that the few who voted in favour were being tongue-in-cheek or just wanted to be controversial. |

You posted your view, and gave your vote. Like you say, you're back here very often. Everyone on this forum will have some connection to the area, and their votes are welcomed too. Though since those who voted yes are in a very small minority, it would be interesting to know their views on why they think local taxes should be spent on this jamboree. Seeing as it won't be them coughing up the dosh for it. |
