If the results of this brief, unpublicised, poll are used by Britcliffe to get this change through, there'll be rioting in the streets...at least by me!

Hardly the finest show of democracy at work is it?

All correspondence should always be answered. Not to do so shows the sort of ignorance we've come to expect from these people.

I was always taught this too Garinda, particularly since E-mails have been introduced into business, you always reply even if it is just to say haven't got your information, but will be back soon, etc.

If it turns out that you never get a reply to your email Katex then that is inexcusable and terribly bad manners. As you say, emails should always be replied to even if just to let the person know that you're looking into the matter for them.
Don't abandon hope yet though. Just a thought.... I have just remembered once being told that the council has a break for the summer holiday so if this is the case then your email possibly may not have been picked up yet. Hopefully you will receive a reply when normal service is resumed in September. If not, then I agree with you, there's no excuse for it.

Probably hoping we'd forgotten all about it.

Mmmm .. Willow, could be correct ... tactics like.

Perhaps still reading the comments from the so-called Market Hall questionnaires ... wonder who got those anyway ?

Don't know when I'm in town next but if it's before weekend will let you know if it is still there.

I've been to the stall in the Market Hall and filled in a form.

Considering the population of Hyndburn, it's hardly the height of democracy, and if the resulting mini-consultation is used as proof that people want a change, there'll be an even bigger stink, if one much needed penny is spent on it.

You don't even have to put your name and address on the form, which again creates flaws.

They'll know mine from the flamboyant, shaky, handwriting...and the vitriolic comments contained within.

I thought that. What's to stop someone doing a couple of hundred?

DO we have people in Hyndburn who are sad enough to do that?

WillowTheWhisp · 11-10-2007, 11:57

Not that I'm suggesting anyone might do such a thing but if someone was keen enough for this madness to go ahead then it's possible isn't it? Then they could say look what a lot of people there are in favour of it.

What slightly bothers me is the fact that it's being done in Accrington. Of course the people of Accrington are going to think it's a good thing, they think we're going 'back' to what it used to be! Wrong, wrong, wrong!
