I have to agree with all Graham Jones remarks about what the people of Hyndburn can now expect. We lost 2 good hard working councillors in Claire Hamilton and Tim O'Kane, and I am sure neither of their replacements will do anything to benefit their constituents. As a resident of Clayton I can not believe that they have elected someone who was arrested for singing racialist songs, do they not realise that an Independent can promise you the earth but will never be able to deliver because he will not be able to get a seconder for his propostions. I shames me that my fellow citizens can elect someone whose ideas are akin to the BNP.
When will Peter Britcliffe and Co stop comtemplating their navels and acknowlege that Hyndburn is a mess. Our Council Tax will increase again and services will disappear, now that the Housing and Works departments are no longer part of HBC, and witht the loss of the Highways functions - which have gone back to LCC, the question has to be asked if we are now viable as an authority.
