Yes, the council, a non-generic term for a group of people who it appears have made one almighty blunder.
It's up to other people to discover if any one person is to blame for this debacle.
Town Council forms.

I do think we're pointlessly replying to each other now, because you know I accept the fact that people have not had forms. That is not what I'm disagreeing on in my posts.
I'm glad you're not blaming anybody anymore.
I'm blaming nobody.
Just stating facts.
A large number of people never recieved this important document.
Fact.
As stated earlier, funny how the council tax bills manage to find each and every one of us.
Fact.
Sorry but you're again blaming the council. Please provide proof that it is them. I'm pretty sure the council (made up of council members, or councillors), didn't send out the mail completely on their own.
Am I missing something here? In the link from the Observer it states that "Hyndburn Council" were sending these forms out to every resident in the borough. So if they made the promise are they not responsible to make sure it is followed through?

Of course they're responsible for fixing it whoever is to blame for people not receiving the forms. Katex has contacted somebody over the issue so they are now aware and should sort it out. I just don't think its right to blame the council when it could be something completely out of their control.
I am not suggesting the council are innocent by the way, I'm not calling it either way. If it turns out it is their fault, I'll be all too happy to condemn them as a u-turn it would not be.
nah cyfr is saying blame the postie/ distributor anyone BUT the council.Am I missing something here?

No I'm saying wait until we know who's to blame.
You couldn't have been further from the truth so please don't try and speak on my behalf!
The council are responsible as far as I am concerned.
the real cashman told you to yer face in the chatroom not behind yer back, like pieces of dung do.
I've never had a conversation with dung before. Are you still upset just because you got a slap on the wrist? It was you doing inappropriate things, I don't see why I should be the one made to look and feel bad.
Er...as posted in the link it was the council who said we were to recieve the forms.
'A public consultation will be launched on Monday when the council will send letters to every home in the borough asking for comments.
Residents will be given two weeks to express their views. '
More power to the people? - News - Accrington Observer
Being one of the chosen few, I can inform you that the illusive document did came from our council.
Not apportioning blame, just stating facts.
Getting a bit warm...I think the time has come young man for you too to walk away?...It's called politics
Apologies to all for milking this thread (no not the silly cow one .. LOL), but Peter (you know who) did state :-
"This will be a very useful opportunity for all people in Hyndburn (still admitting our title then) to express their thoughts about bringing local govenment down to grassroots level.
We will explain what town councils are about and what the change will mean to them "
Still awaiting ...

How mant people read their junk mailyesterday afternoon I recieved about 5 items they all went in the white bag. You quite often recieve mail just marked to the household, which I never open, It would appear that quite a lot of others do the same, about 76.92% seems about right

As stated earlier, I'm damn hot on putting junk mail straight into the rrecycling sack. This letter was clearly not that, and your suggestion that the people who never received one is contemptible.
Happily quite a few of those people are prepared to tell the press they never received one.
