Maybe he should try doing something about the way Accrington looks rather than over-spending on rubbish, there arent many decent shops in Accrington anymore, come to think of it there arent many in Darwen either, it makes you wonder why people go out of town to go shopping doesnt it

Was that an invitation for Graham to post?


I think your post hit the nail on the head.
I wonder what this game is all about?

I've been rather busy in Haltemprice and Howden so not been keeping up to date with whats going on.

All I can say is what would the overspend be if we had voted for Labour and had an unfunded 3% tax cut in addition!

Hats off to them.

They did incredibly well to keep this shocker underwraps until after the recent elections.

'Mr Pope has revealed figures showing government grants to the council had actually increased by £3m since 2002, and that this year it received a £571,000 rise.'


Frighteningly sad.

As I've said many times before (yawn,) I wouldn't trust most of the present incumbents to run a jumble sale successfully, nevermind multi-million pound bugets.

Standard political answer, avoid the issue and start name calling the opposition

I know there's a Gooseberry Fool, but is there a Goole Fool?
