It was just a turn of phrase. I just meant one says something and the other contradicts it every time. No wonder you get people saying they're all as bad as each other at election time. |

Re: Council Overspend
I don't really take notice of who said what.
I just read the facts as reported in the Telegraph, and those facts are shocking. |

Financial year. The 'excellent' was for the last financial year - May 07 - May 08 Any issues with budget at the moment are related to this financial year - May 08 - May 09 - which we're only two months in to. |
Re: Council Overspend
By the way - does anyone know where Pendle St is and why it's had so much work done on it?

Re: Council Overspend
This seems rather strang to me, prior to the budget meeting in Feb Cllr Jones said on here and in the media that he had a 40 point plan for Hyndburn, I think Neil even asked him if we could have a sneak preview on Accy Web, we didn't get one. A the budget meeting in Feb the Tories put their budget forward as did the independent councillors, but cllr Jones sat on his hands, seems his 40 point plan could not be costed. He did say that he would have used balances to keep the council tax low, balances which didn't exist under the last Labour Admin. Its interesting to here that the Labour Party are saying that the Tories knew full well that he Government money wouldn't be forth coming this year, if that is the case, then Labour must have known too. With this in mind why as it taken until mid June before the news came out. Knowing cllr Joneses track record if he or Mr Pope had know this why did they not scream it from the roof tops in the run up to the May elections, after alls said and done Labour didn't have much going far it at the last elections, and they would have milked this big time, the problem is Labour is a busted flush and are now clutching at straws.

Re: Council Overspend
I am not seeking to defend what has happened. I am however raising an important point.
We are told Britcliffe knew about the grant cuts, and yet Labour never bothered to inform us, them, and failed to set out another budget with the correct amendments. Two wrongs don't make a right, and the electorate have the legitimate right to condem this. The Labour party have no right to condem this, we would be in the exact same, if not worse, situation, if they have been the elected the majority in May. |
