HBC at it again

Credit where it's due. Congratulations to HBC and Claire Pritchard for getting £1.9m from the austerity mob at Westminster.

Ya Hyndburn got a mention on TV yesterday, in the same breath as Manchester and Liverpool

Let's hope they don't involve Hyndburn Homes in any scheme they come up, no point throwing the money away

Think the money is for town centre redevelopment Dave, so no need for HH to be within a million miles of it

They shouldn't be within a million miles of Accrington

I'd rather have a lifetime's supply of season tickets to Ewood than deal with them

How depressing, you'd be hoping for a short life if that wish came true.

I have had loads of grief caused by Hyndburn Homes.
I have used the search facility here to review all the hassle they caused me.

I will be moving out soon and hope never to need their housing ever again.

When I move to private rented shortly, I will be paying £41 a week more, but when I look at what I will gain for that I wish I had done it years ago. Looking back, I used to spend that per week on bingo !

The 'extras' that I don't have now -
Solid plastered walls - not unplastered hardboard on studding
Hardwood fire doors throughout - not hardboard
Built less than 10 years ago to higher building insulation standards
Larger living spaces
An extra bedroom
TWO bathrooms, one is en-suite
A secure door entry access system
A security alarm system
A stairwell that is carpeted (less noise)
A luxurious large fitted kitchen with appliances
Windows that close properly (no broken handles)
Plenty of electricity sockets and 'no surface mounted' switches
Good floorcoverings and decoration throughout
No surface mounted pipework.
No bulges in ceilings.
A balcony - WOW ! (even though it is ground floor)

PS I will no longer need a tow rope (parked next to the only window which would open wide enough for emergency exit).

Luxury indeed!
If you ever get really depressed it will save you the bus fare into town to use the high rise car park.

Ironic isn't it that Graham Jones has recently been harping on about rogue landlords and the council have implemented a landlord licencing scheme.

They are also the company who 'fix' the councils toilets. So far they have 'fixed' a leak in Peel St toilets five times. No doubt the council are paying the bill and nobody is asking questions.

Even John Wayne would have been proud to have been a cowboy of such stature

They waste money on propaganda telling you how wonderful they are -
Glossy magazines full of self praise delivered several times a year, is their way of Google Page Ranking.
