Good. But how about the proposed Nelson 40th anniversary celebrations? Does anybody care? Is it a proper use of scarce funding?

But how about the proposed Nelson 40th anniversary celebrations?

Don't know if they'll plough on with this. Originally, they earmarked £3,000, which includes the £1,700 for the M65 sign (which may be money down the drain).

40th anniversary of what??

[David Whipp]

40th anniversary of the local government reorganisation which created Pendle Borough Council, 31st March 1974.

Surely you can all remember this anniversary. Its when everybody gave up their independence and we finished up with this.
David I'll put the plaque back the next time I'm in Nelson.

[David Whipp]

I'm glad we don't have that on our road signs!

It does though have the virtue of the three white roses on top.

[Thomo]

IN UNITATE FLORESCEMUS; In unity we shall flourish increasingly, or possibly more appropriate; MERDA TAURORUM ANIMAS CONTURBIT!!

[David Whipp]

Illegitimi non carborundum.

[PanBiker]

Aye, another good one.

[Whyperion]

Not sure what will happen to the £1,700 sign ordered for next to the M65.

Sell it on Ebay?

[David Whipp]

Sell it on Ebay?

Or via the sex site?

[David Whipp]

I liked the comment on the Lancashire Telegraph site suggesting that the borough's boundary signs could be 'Sponsored by Viagra - working hard for you'.

Pendle's coat of arms. Picture posted 21 Feb 2014. Just pondering on this coat of arms. In all my wanderings around the Pendle districts I can't recall seeing it anywhere outside the Nelson council chambers. Is it just me or has anybody else seen it?
Perhaps this wants branding up too. Or better still leave it in its "hidden corner".
