Not getting drawn into this Tealeaf

It's out of Hyndburn, it's all been done legitimately, they have had a lot of consultation but it's impossible to force people to read stuff they're not interested in, the Council is fully behind it and supportive.

Its away from Accy so thats all that matters.

It's also the UFO isn't it? So they're welcome to it.

Hasn't the artist come up with any better ideas for Accy yet? Or even better haven't we got an alternative artist?

Is the FP still on sale? Must have a look at that.

So Busman747 can you guarantee that no harm will come to it from so called respectable members of society who have an axe to grind?

So what plans will be put in to place to stop the bikers and the yobs!!

There isnt one its not exactly high on the list of things to do at the moment.

Respectable members of this message board may not like the idea of "HighForm" but if it was thrust upon us we aren't really the vandalising type. We'd moan about it being vandalised by others and ending up a total eyesore. Look at the current state of the monument. That hasn't been done by respectable Accywebbers. It's been done by vandals.

I think we'd probably welcome something tasteful and vandalproof - but is there any such thing?

I'm now wondering how long it will be before the Spaceship of Rossendale suffers the same ignominious fate.

There's a thing, now I recall. Is there any word on the oceans of development cash that these things were supposed to attract to the area?Has Rossendale seen an upsurge in tourism and job creation yet? Are the glitterati abandoning places like Milan and Bilbao and making a bee-line for Rossendale yet?

Or were we right to say "NOT IN OUR BACKYARD"?

The Council may very well be behind the Panopticon, but we seasoned residents of Hyndburn are all too familiar with the enthusiasms of local councils and, sadly, what they inevitably lead to.
