Why is it whenever people want to venture into new pastimes in Hyndburn, the Rev Kevin Logan is always was willing to intervene?
He is now leading a petition to prevent a lap-dancing club opening in Accrington.
With a population of some 82,000 in Hyndburn and 35,000 residing in Accrington, 600 signatures is 1.7 per cent or 0.731 per cent of the population.
Very miniscule and mediocre.
A minority of people attend churches for their pleasures and are seldom ridiculed for it.
The majority obtain their pleasures in many other ways: clubs, pubs and, yes, lap-dancing establishments.
It works well in other towns.
More people will pass through these establishments in a weekend than would possibly pass through all the churches in Accrington in a month.
You have a freedom of faith; others want a freedom of entertainment.
G R Davies (Mr), (address received).
