Well I filled in the survey. Having read all of your thoughts about Accy from time to time. I must have become brainwashed.:D Didn't give 'em much info. Just told 'em what I think of the Council.

Re: Don't miss this golden opportunity....
 

Done it. Given them both the London address and the Ossy address - that will tax their mighty brains rather much! Have also said on their Comments site that their survey is crap. It is totally inflexible, and is designed to lead in a certain direction, unless of course you tell them that you don't want any services, just to pay less. I also said that it was stupid to ask someone not involved in local government what they would spend 0.5 to 1 million on - how are you supposed to know what that buys? I did say from experience as a school governor that I know it costs over 0.5 million a year to keep a primary school going. I did suggest it might best be spent on an overhaul of their management practices, in an effort to make them more efficient!

About how many people work for Hyndburn Council? - about a third of them.

That is a none starter Pendy, after all, the management isn't well enough trained in mangement practices to recognise a good course to send themselves on!

Re: Don't miss this golden opportunity....
 

ok ive given them a few suggestions on how to save money and improve service

1: stop giving people money to renovate houses they let fall into disrepair in the first place it should be up to them to maintain and repair their property ( refering to all the grants certain groups of peope get )

2: stop digging up broadway it was fine as it was with the flower beds and now it looks a disgrace and all the millions spent on the cobbles in town centre are now covered in tarmac

3: kick the binmen up the ass and tell them to actualy take bags of rubbish away instead of leaving it for the rats it seems binmen are scared of getting their hands dirty ( if you dont want dirty hands dont do a dirty job)

3: put sighns in parks stating that rides and swings are used at parents/childs own risk to prevent stupid claims for scratched knees ( hell we all fallen of a swing and i dont remember anyone giving me thousands of pounds for it )

Re: Don't miss this golden opportunity....
 

I would love to see the results, and in particular the comments made.

Re: Don't miss this golden opportunity....

The title of the thread is "Don't miss this golden opportunity.... ", I presume that's what Rosegrove is trying to say?
