Just remember its your council tax rise that will pay for it

I wouldn't be surprised if someone reading ths thread decided to offer a scoop to their favourite tabloid.

And your hoping there won't be an increase in council tax? That amount will be petty cash compared to what they no doubt have in mind for us all already!

entwisi · 02-11-2006, 11:23

Oh no, I KNOW there will be an increase, I'm just trying to keep it manageable

Still with the gov talking of compulsory entrance to enable regrading of properties and looking at income as well I can see ours going skywards anyway

(they encourage you to improve your home and then tax you out of existance for doing it )

One of my first thoughts which as usual was a touch cynical was:-

Graham is a politician, he would no doubt like a nice juicy scandal to come from this, that way if all goes well after fanning the flames and giving us all this info' he can take the praise for exposing the goings on in his local council, however just as a bit of insurance in case the whole plan goes belly up, if he gets us to do the initial contacting he can go into denial mode thus keeping his own record clean.

As I say though that was just a cynical thought on my behalf and is obviously not part of the plan at all!

It's a joke isn't it? The people who don't give a hoot and let their property declne into a slum get away with paying less......but we musn't thread wander from the serious subject of the money wasted on this awful, useless, website. If it had fulfilled its purpose as defined would it have mattered that the forum didn't flourish? I think not. But it didn't even live up to its claim of being informative and useful.

So?

Other local politicans have the right to use this forum too, rather than just read it and comment about it in the press.

I think it shows initative, by using the local internet forum that actually works.

Yes rindy I do agree, and I wish there were more like him, but I still think it a nice theory I almost wish it would happen. (It could make the beginning of a plot for that book Gayle keeps threatening us with).

Indeed, I am always ready to throw principles to the wind for the sake of 12 pieces of silver! (Erm 12? better make that 1 I don't want to price myself out of the market).

Well you will still insist on voting them in!

After spending time reading all posts in this thread I am amazed at the sums of money talked about, being new to this pc world, what would the ordinary man/woman in the street think if this was explained to them?
On one hand they cry poverty and then throw money about with gay abandon, thank's Councillor Graham for wiseing this guy up.

There is a story on Page 5 of this weeks Accrington Observer about HyndburnLife. Can't see anything on their web site though.

Unless it is a very important story making national news headlines - such as the Tremellan street tragedy - then the Accy Observer will only update its news website on a weekly basis, every friday morning.

Just looked at this thread and look how long ago it was when I was asking what happened to the computer lessons they were going to do on Hyndburnlite! Lots of hype and an intro was about as far as that got.Maybe the guy who was going to do them couldn't get on there again.
