I've just had my application form for the Council's accountant post returned.

They say my mistake was putting garinda and jaysay down as references.

Apparently one thinks I'm a prat, and the other thinks I'm a woman.

Back to stacking shelves at Lidl

Aww...feeling left out?

You could have been the one who licked the stamp.

As for being gynn's referee, if you'd just used myself, we'd be looking at a 100% accuracy rate.

Well done Lidl though, for giving you a chance.

Care in the community can work.

Well which ever way the cookie crumbles think I was spot on really, if you are a woman I was quite right, if your not, still think I'm right, because you can be a big girls blouse at times

Inwas disappointed this week to see the Council has £2.4m legal liabilities in West Accrington through CPO and not a penny to fund it. The Council is trying to move money from the Townships fund to Woodnook. Around £2m which was gained through HMR and which the government will double.

I thought that would be £4m for Woodnook. Turns out it will be less than half that as these legal CPO arrangements are binding.

Another £2.4m unfunded blackhole.

It can only be described as reckless the fact that the Tories knew of these debts, had no intentions of paying them, instead setting up a wasteful Township Fund AND promising Woodnook £2.6m.

I despair. Poor people of Woodnook let down again.

Graham, for the benefit of us non-council folk, could you explain CPO, HMR and Townships fund as I for one don't understand the acronyms and where the funding comes from (or doesn't come from).

CPO, Compulsory Purchase Orders, mainly in West Accrington. HMR, Housing Market Renewal funding meant for the more deprived areas of the Borough. The township funding was set up by the last Council administration. Essentially took money away from areas such as Woodnook.

BERNADETTE · 06-07-2011, 23:29

Could anybody verify information that I have heard about the Woodnook Area? The information I got was that Harvest Homes had bought the properties in the area and rather than demolishing them they were going to renivate them.
Would be nice to get a straight forward answer as to whether this is going to happen and if this could be the way forward for this particular area. I just can't believe that it was left to rot to such an extent whoever was in the driving seat at HBC, whilst other areas of Hyndburn got all the money thrown at them
