I cant see why they cant take it back to the flower beds like already said they looked nice. Something like church street in blackburn would also look nice.

Flower beds and benches like we used to have would be very nice. Somewhere to sit down is most welcome on a hot day.

It should be remembered that it was members of the Royal Institute of British Architects who foisted Tower Blocks on us in the 50's and 60's and who were only stopped in their tracks by the collapse of Ronan Point. Still, never mind, that paragon of municipal excellence, the estimable Mr Rix appears to be in charge of this bunfight so it will all fizzle out in a few months.

Maybe they could resite the fountain from outside the council offices...although Lindsay may prefer a bronze nude!!

Re: Broadway - Get yer thinking caps on!

The local councils don't really have a good record with fountains do they? How come other towns can manage it? (Two examples come to mind - York and Lancaster)

Re: Broadway - Get yer thinking caps on!

I go to Lancaster a lot, I prefer to shop there, maybe it reminds me of home. But the centre is a crowd puller. Theres all people around, always friendly.

Blackpool Willow,

It takes about 25 mins from where I'm at Bispham on a good day. I go up at least once a week.

I don't like Blackpool, no parking - too many money grabbers...the locals aren’t as friendly either

I like Lancaster too, in fact the whole area round there. It's surprising how many Accy/Ossy people you meet there too.

Re: Broadway - Get yer thinking caps on!

We need some Accyweb badges...anywhere north of pilling good for me. I like to get up into the Trough and in to the hills. I farm occasionally up in Barnacre, back of Garstang, Horse's and sheep in the main; I cover three or four weeks a year plus the odd weekend when the shows are on.

I had family friends that held Gallows Ho over there, god that’s a place; you had to get in to the bath on your back nearly. Good memories

That's a nice area Doug. When I'm over I always drive down the Ribble Valley, but always end up going through the Trough, and back round Forton and Chipping. Love it.

It's one of gods nicest gifts.

I live near Lancaster and periodically visit the Hyndburn/Blackburn area - travelling through the Trough makes a much pleasanter journey than any other way.
