I'm sure they could illicit a response from H.B.C., as to why one of Accrington's most famous landmarks appears to be being aquired by stealth from under their very noses.

Sounds newsworthy to me.

Good Idea. Although im surprised they havent already jumped on the possibility of such a controvertsial story. Ill give them a quick email.

Cheers

Or contact 'LisaKenyon' (news editor) on here; a member under this name, does ask to let her know if we have any stories that could prove of interest.

what a load of rubbish. The Con Club was sold recently and the Church recently went up for sale. Both have owners. HM whoever have forged Government documents and the the guff about seizing ownership is way off...

The Council know NOTHING about HM or what is happening at either until today. I have arranged the real owner to have a chat with Regen as he has recently submitted a planning application for the Con Club. He did a presentation a couple of weeks back at the local Civic Society as it is Grade 2. I didn't know him before hand it has to be said. Anyway he has informed HM Gov and had a locksmith rechange the locks.

The false notice on the baptist church also had the seizure named address of the Con Club. Pranksters IMO.

The question I have is not only does NO ONE at the Council knows of or has heard anything about HM nor do we have a policy of encouraging seizure, let alone these two buildings. Baxendens
telephone conversations are bogus because planning have ben speaking with the real owners for two weeks. In fact what Baxenden said is pretty much all fraudulent and I can't find a reason for those comments to be made.

The plans are to go from 5 floors to about 11 without increasing the height of the builiding. All commercial lettings. 22,000 sq ft to 63,000 sq ft on the same footprint. Everything demolished except the first 6 metres from the front elevation. Fulll front restoration - iron work mainly. Rear entrance to be near to 100% glass. A large glass atrium going down to the ground floor in the middle of the building. Mezanine floors at the front where it is listed. Gym restaurant in basement. Retail office conference gound, office above. Rooftop cafe/restaurant with panoramic views. Cash in place. Work begins May (they say!) finished Christmas 2011 (18 months).

garinda · 14-08-2008, 23:46

Thanks for clearing that up Graham.

The whole thing stank...almost as much as the last member that posted about land grabbing the quarry...for the public's best interest of course.

garinda · 14-08-2008, 23:49

I'm sure if anyone has been publishing fraudulent information the police could easily trace someone's I.P. addresss.

cashman · 15-08-2008, 00:21

the thing that puzzles me, these 2 folk come from nowhere, jump right in on land/property grabbing issues, WHY? would have thought they would serve their purpose better keeping mum. that sure beats me.

Just seen this now, I've been in contact with someone supposedly from Laxio (who are part of this HR Developments or whatever they're called), about taking some photos inside Cannon St. Church.

They're saying redevelopment will start at the end of september. So are this lot for real or not? Do they own it or not? I've seen the newspaper sotry but not sure what to make of the whole affair now.
