In this weeks Observer HBC's idiot-in-chief, "barking " Britcliffe, is wringing his hands over the unavoidable necessity of whacking up Council Tax by 10%. According to him this a conspiracy by the Government to keep Hyndburn in the gutter. And the fact that they have an enormous debt of over £60,000,000 to service has nothing whatever to do with it...yeah, right!

Anyway you have the opportunity to Annonymously tell HBC exactly what you think they should do with the council tax by visiting the council website and filling in an online survey.

do it now!

Done it.......I wonder if anyone will take any notice though.

Bazf · 08-01-2005, 18:38

Do you think this should be pinned.....?

WillowTheWhisp · 08-01-2005, 18:47

Thanks for that opportunity A-b

Consider it done A Bob, hope it makes a difference.

Have just filled out the survey, all i can say,it's a good job i did not have to submit my name and address. lol

lettie · 08-01-2005, 22:37

I have filled mine out under no illusion that any notice will be taken of it, but for the record, it was nothing short of scathing. I'd love to have read yours A-B...

I assume then Janet, you didn't want to win £100-00?
"If you would like to be entered into the prize draw for a chance to win £100, please enter your name, postcode & house number in the box below. Your details will not be passed on to any other organisations and will not be used by the Council for any other purpose."

When I read that the information will not be used for any other purpose, a cold shiver went down my spine. I wonder why?

janet · 09-01-2005, 12:19

No busman i did not want to win the £100, the council would only report me to the social for unearned income and cut my benefit. lol

I will bump this one up to the top of the list from time to time because I think that it is important that as many people as possible should have the opportunity to respond to HBC's invitation.

WillowTheWhisp · 11-01-2005, 20:05

I wonder if Roy would sticky it if you ask him nicely?

Darby · 12-01-2005, 07:40

Done it....Question 7 is very loaded....and there isn't a real alternative either.

Told them I do not wish to give my name and address to anyone. Especially the Council!

entwisi · 12-01-2005, 08:03

Did it yesterday. I was always brought up to be prepared to put my name to what I said so I did. If you feel strongly about something why hide your name? It doesn't make sense to me.
