Labour County Councillor for Rishton and Clayton Le Moors, Miles Parkinson commented, "Over the past 4 years the people of Hyndburn have been let down by the Conservatives at County Hall. We have seen recycling centres closed, care charges introduced for young people with disabilities and massive increases in charges for day care centres. From Baxenden to Oswaldtwistle, highways to bus routes, cuts have resulted in a reduced service for Hyndburn's residents".
Miles added: "Nationally, it is now becoming clear that austerity is hurting but it isn't working. Borrowing continues to increase and yet the people of Hyndburn are continuing to see a squeeze on their household budgets and a reduction of the services they rely on. Labour at County Hall will freeze council tax, invest in the services that people want and need, and we will be people's voice in tough times".
