Gossip around 'Colne in Bloom' is that Lib Dem Councillor Dorothy Lord seems set to turn Tory when the Lib Dem Party finally fizzles out.  Dorothy, as part of her ambition to see Colne win the National 'In Bloom' competition, asked various businesses to display hanging baskets of flowers, but one Colne bank refused saying that in these times of austerity cuts they could not afford such luxuries or run the risk of being sued under health and safety law if someone was injured by the basket.  Ever resourceful Dorothy appealed to our Conservative MP, Andrew Stephenson, for help and he went higher up the food chain at the bank in question and got the local staff over-ruled.  Joy!
