The Beacon

No they don't.

That's why I gave other examples of how useful information could be pased on to residents, such as on council tax bills, whose cost is already accounted for, and which go to every household in the borough. That's besides telephone books, libraries, town halls, etc., etc.

Oh, and the calendars we get.

;)

Did you get, and read one?

How much new information did you gleam from it?

We could compare notes.
 
We have to remember that this kind of thing was started by Labour at country council and yes it was, like the Beacon, a back slapping publication, never any mention of the Labour or Lib/dem county councillors and this has been coming though our letterboxes, delivered by the Royal Mail for a very long time, think its called the Vision, can't ever remember it being brought up on here though, mind you Ken Moss hasn't been on here long and would have said a word if it was published my Labour;)

After it was mentioned, as I said, I got it out of the recycling sack, and read it.

It was better than L.C.C.'s Vision, in my opinion.

It did read like a vanity publication.

Something that no one else thinks is worth publishing, so the author pays to have it printed privately.

I won't read it again.

Anything that comes through the door, that doesn't have my name on it, and therefore that it's being sent to me personally, goes straight into the white sack.

Its just over 8p per house.

Perhaps it might be an idea, before shoving it through our letterboxes, if they knocked, and asked us if we wanted to read it.

Those 8p's would perhaps soon mount up.

After all, look after the pennies, and the pounds look after themselves.

We'd perhaps have more money to throw at the more needy, underfunded areas of concern in Hyndburn.

Community arts, for example.

:D

I tend to do that myself, especially around April each year;)

Yes, I remember.

You didn't know much about Karen Buckley.

(She was the Conservative candidate for Hyndburn, in the last General Election, by the way.)
