RE, Narrow squeak for Tour of Britain as Pendle councillors rebel over cash Claims of economic benefits, by race organisers, were also ‘vague’ Tony Greaves said, and there was no guarantee that a third or quarter of the anticipated route would be within Pendle’s boundaries, rather than the Ribble Valley.
I never cease to be surprised by how one minute councillors tell us that tourism is worth £80 million a year to Pendle and the next the benefits from the Tour de France are vague. Still I suppose it depends on what day it is and what mood the councillors in.
