If it's possible to know where I could find out it would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

wrong again andrew, yer eyes need to be wide open to get where you wanna be! people can doubt it and also doubt when it occured if in fact it did. i only returned here less than 8 yrs ago,after a 10 yr abscense, all i know is "Hearsay" hence me asking ya to prove it, also there are others, even some members here who have returned whilst P.B. has been at the helm, so if ya take that on board by opening yer eyes fully, ya may just make it in the real world.

This thread has a plot more tortuous than a Russian novel ....

Being 'Devils Advocat' is one thing....being a pain in the arse is something quite different.

I think you answer would be the town hall?

I'm not playing Devil's Advocate.

As was made clear to me earlier in the thread, I didn't know all employees of H.B.C., were paid directly from the council's share of the Council Tax.

I have seen information as to where the share that goes to L.C.C., Police, Fire Brigade etc. is directed to.

I don't want a pound by pound account of where each and every pound gets spent, for example £100 given to repair a scout hut roof, but I would be very interested to see a percentage breakdown, as to where H.B.C.'s share is allocated.

By the way, I'll only bother using my time to argue a point if it's something I happen to believe in, and care about.

I'll leave it to others to argue, just for argument's sake.

devil's advocate

–noun a person who advocates an opposing or unpopular cause for the sake of argument.

.... or useful if someone is up for cannonization ... no one on this thread comes immediately to mind ... tho' maybe a few of the more extreme tories are thinking of this for Thatcher .... after her state funeral of course.

And the process could be funded by the taxpayers.

Amen to that

"Amen" usually comes at the end of an extended piece of rambling bull crap, which accurately describes most of this thread. However, I believe it's a little premature to use the word yet ... I predict more of the same will be coming our way.

Although even Peter could afford the £3.50 one. Pity it's not in London

Maybe I should email Peter a list of carvery restaurants in London where you eat for under £10. He might even be able to have a glass of wine with his meal for that as well.

No but there is a responsibilty to address the issue and not just the person. That's the positive way forward that seems so challeging to address. Its all negative but to be quite frank that makes it more worthwhile fighting for the positive people. David Mason said when he rtesigned The Tories are a dictatorship. Unfortunately EVERY thing wrong within the council is traced by to the one person.

It should be on the councils website. Also the breakdown on how Hyndburn's share is allocated is included in the council tax bills that will be going out shortly.

As you say it won't tell you how each pound is spent, it tends to be more general than that. But it will include the main areas were Hyndburn's share of the councils tax is allocated

If you need any more detailed information, I'll try and dig it out for you.
