REGARDING the extra cash earmarked for the Rossendale youth zone, I’m not knocking the idea but if the council can find an extra half-a-million pounds for this scheme, then why can’t they find a mere £100,000 for the Rossendale Museum in Rawtenstall?

Both are just as important as each other, but there just seems to be a disparity in the thinking behind the council’s logic.

It is examples like this which infuriate the populace of Rossendale.
