Because if we have one in Hyndburn the area will benefit as a whole from the increased investment, ground rents, rates and employment opportunities. Like you say, people already drive out of the area to these places so why not have one within the area to get all the benefits?

However, I will keep saying, that I would only approve it myself if there were some provisos included i.e. some additional investment from these companies in the town centres as well.
