Sorry, congratulations to Bernard as well.
It's just I never doubted you wouldn't romp home. Which you did.

Re: Hyndburn Borough Council election results 2010
It's a hung Council. Thanks to all those that voted. I do not know the vote share. Commiseration's to those that lost. Nick and Paul Gott were good Councillors.
Coalition 17, Conservatives 17. Everything rests on Councillor Malcolm Pritchard and it appears he has the future destiny of the Borough in his hand. He has been promised the Mayoralty if he votes for Peter Britcliffe as Leader. |

Re: Hyndburn Borough Council election results 2010
Yes Graham you are right it seems to rest on me. But you seem to forget that I have and always will do what I feel is the best for Hyndburn. I have not been promised the Mayoralty from Peter Britcliffe if I vote with his party. It is just that I have done what I believe is the best for the people. That is why I am not in any party because I will not be told by you are anyone else which way to vote. That was why I left the Labour party because I would not be told what to say are do by you are your party. This also goes for the Independent group that is why I am not a member of their group. I repeat I will always put people before politics. Yours Malcolmp.

Some people also think that Peter likes to exert similar controls on a local level! May be there are parallels here...or am i reading too much into things! Best Regards - Taggy |

Re: Hyndburn Borough Council election results 2010
Yes flashy I am the next mayor it was on the cards in 2002 as 2010 is a special year for my family, as me and my wife are both 60 and it is our 40th Wedding anniversary this year. Also I have been involved with the Council for 30 years. 21 years working for them and 9 years as a councillor. I am looking foward to receiveing all my Birthday cards from fellow councillors on Monday but I will not be holding my breath much to the disappointment of some of them.

Re: Hyndburn Borough Council election results 2010
so how will the Council function or will one be decided soon?
will it be impossible for HBC to do anything without an overall majority?

Re: Hyndburn Borough Council election results 2010
As it stands, any decisions made in the council chamber will be truly democratic as no one party can be whipped to all vote the same way by its leader in order to push something through. However, the council needs a leader in the house in order to work properly.
Generally speaking in England, the party with the largest number of members gets to decide who the next leader is. In essence, Councillor Pritchard has the deciding vote as he has publicly stated he has no allegiance one way or another.
