Re: hyndburn life website
Well done to Graham for raising this whole issue;nice to see the Accy Ob actually printing an unbiased account of it too,questions need to be asked about this whole sorry affair;someone has come off very nicely from these deals.....and it's not the Hyndburn public.

ERDF and SRB were given to the Borough to spend in the Borough. This project has meant we can't spend £591,000 elsewhere. The bid docs have HBC all over them as the responsible body. The authors and owners. Liable for any overspending and also liable for mainstreaming of it (hence why it is still up there in cyberspace). The show of hands that agreed the expenditure of this money hapenned on 18 June 2003, a Tory cabinet meeting chaired by Peter Britcliffe. All Councillors received a circular last week from Clr Britclife blaming the Government, blaming County Council, suggesting it was external monies and even suggesting Labour Councillors had started this scheme. It read metaphorically like a dying man willing to clutch any straw. All I can say is bring on the elections in May. Everyone seems to have just about had enough of the lame excuses. Its time for a change. Last edited by g jones; 13-11-2006 at 17:10. |

Re: hyndburn life website
Having read the article in the LT it does seem to be trying to give the impression that some popular local communty site, which gets used more than Hyndburnlite, has been subsequently developed due to technology having outstripped the orginal vision.
I wonder what communty group that could be referring to? I can't think of one that has sprung up in the shadow of Hyndburnlite, can you?

Re: hyndburn life website
I don't care were the money for it came from. Someone wasted it, and it could have been a valuable asset to the Borough.
For Britcliffe to be quoted saying 'no money was spent by Hyndburn Council to develop it', it being £600,000 of tax payers money, shows once again he doesn't have the vision needed to take Hyndburn forward, and away from the deprived borough's list by embracing technology. Perhaps if we heed his advice, and all think positive thoughts, Hyndburn Life will magically rise like a Phoenix from it's ashes, and everything will be hunky bloody dory. Website Wastes Almost 600 000 (from Lancashire Telegraph)
