my gripe is that all businesses are facing a reduction in income and we have to make savings where as the council just take and take and id like to see savings.

I agree with you wholeheartedly but unfortunately the budget for Hyndburn borough council is set by the controlling group. The independent councillor did suggest LPG vehicles. Our group (Labour) did want to cut spending on Flower towers etc which really are an extravagance in the current situation. Also, although it has been budgeted for an increase in staff wages this year it is not written in stone that there will be a local government pay increase in 2009.
