So which part of demographics has stores like Next and River Island turned us down on Lindsay ? They have been invited on numerous occasions so I believe.

Burtons and Dorothy Perkins are just about surviving. Next and River Island know that they wouldn't make enough turnover in a town like Accy.

Well, whether I be an ignoramus in your eyes Cashy .. still think it ridiculous to blame the car park for loss of business in our town. Might be a few people who agree with you on the construction of our car park ... you will only hear the ones that grumble, not the ones that don't.

try asking people that use it fer there opinions, i use it dont like it, but its handy fer me, i have asked people oer the years you try it n then say its ok.

Sorry Katex , have to agree with Cashy and the others on this one , last used it 10 years ago and thought the layout was rubbish, the parking slots are designed for those little toy matchbox Fiat 500s , think it was designed by a graduate with a weight watchers degree

katex · 23-01-2010, 23:12

Well, Steeljack ... I drive a Toyota Avensis which is wider than most cars @ 1.71 mtrs (or 67.3" for our American cousins) and have never had a problem in getting into a space on this car park (and exiting my car). A Fiat 500 is only 1.32 mtrs.

It's not the perfect car park, but still stick to my statement that as against other car parks I have experienced in my journeys of 30,000 miles per year, 'ain't that bad. Still nowt to do with the lack of trade in Accy.

Try Charter Walk in Burnley for instance ... that's a little awkward sod... well used though.

I've never used the Arndale car park that much, I've always tried to avoid it. We were told when they built it that it was the standard design for Arndale car parks at the time.

I also believe that if you know the centre Accrington, it's not that difficult to find somewhere to park, and still avoid using the Arndale car park.

People may not like the Arndale car park, but I'm not convinced that's what keeps the majority of people from shopping in Accrington.

i'm convinced that its stopped people bernard, causing revenue loss, therefore the stores we used to have had reduced profits. it sure hasn't helped.

I'm not a big fan of the car park, but is it any easier to park say in Blackburn, Burnley or any other nearby town.

cashman · 23-01-2010, 23:45

is in blackburn thats fer sure, avoid dingletown so can't really say. Paris prefers both of em to accys.

katex · 03-02-2010, 18:29

Must admit, love this new tower Blackburn have erected to get to their refurbished (eventually ..

) car park.

Is there any money left for the carpark or is it being put aside for the window cleaners?

shillelagh · 03-02-2010, 20:43
