It is now well known that Fylde Borough Council have purchased and are deploying the Waste Collector computer system which in conjunction with microchips stored under the lip of your wheelie bins seeks to maintain a database of how much rubbish your household is producing, how much of it is recyclable and how much of it isn’t.
After becoming increasingly isolated over recent weeks, Conservative Council Leader John Coombes has decided to remove himself from the position of council leader.
Coombes began his leadership with noble aims. He set about the people, procuring information to form a definitive dossier of what people wanted in Fylde. The madness seemed to start in 2005 when the chief executive convinced him to support cutting certain council expenses and passing them on to parishes to subvert the restrictions on raising council tax.
Judging by the volume of traffic headed to the article I wrote about news of a new political party, this should hopefully be what you’ve been waiting for.
It’s been in the making a while but rising from the ashes of a disillusioned Fylde UKIP membership comes Integrity: a party that offers something a bit different from pretty much any party I can think of.
Disgruntled council tax payers have often muttered about the lengths their council will go to in order to extract cash from them. This is no more apparent than in Fylde: residents are quite rightly enraged about the underhand, number-fiddling methods employed by John Coombes’ apparat in order to raise their council tax.
I talked about the Starr Gate tram depot the other day and the opposition to it from local residents who don’t want this 4 storey dirty depot plonked on their seafront doorstep.
July-September
“I love this town.” - Phil “The Power” Taylor
The start of July saw Blackpool’s Opera House announced as the 2009 venue for the Royal Variety Performance. The show would be in December. We also saw Labour crushed in the European elections as the British National Party secured two seats in the European Parliament. Their victory rally would be held in Blackpool a few weeks later prompting an invasion of Unite Against Fascism.
Where’d this go?

PLANS to extend a Fylde business park have been refused after more than a year of deliberation.
Fylde Council turned down plans, submitted by Kensington Developments, to build an industrial unit and three storage buildings next to Whitehills Business Park on Peel Road, Westby.
