they are thinking about extending the Arndale car park

This can't happen! some of us are stuck with vehicles that don't fit in the arndale car park. The car park in union street is my only real choice if I want to stay in the centre for longer than 30 mins.

Perhaps we should ask the Observer if they will start a campaign to at least keep the clock cos ... we have two volunteers who say they will have a go at repairing, eh?

I think there is plenty of room for the clock just outside the entrance to the Arndale. There is a clock there, which never seems to work. I say LETS RELOCATE THE CLOCK.

Remember all the fuss about the Bee outside the Bees Knees. But maybe no-one actually did anything. That ended up being taken away, never to be heard of again, although I have reason to believe it's had been "rescued" by Ossy Mills.

Just been in the Arndale and the clock has gone

.......It's probably in the skip by the Sacred Heart Church.

Gone? Gone where, as you say Tealeaf. I find that very sneaky!! It was only last week they were talking about it. Mm, something fishy here I reckon.
How can we find out?

This is truly appalling........By my estimate, at this rate of destruction & demolition there'll be nowt left of Accy in 6 months time. If this was the councils decision then it really is disgraceful; like it or hate it that clock was one of the landmarks of Accy. (Another 10 years & it would end up listed).

However, is the Arndale not privately owned? In that case lets make our feelings felt by boycotting the place.....the shop tennants would soon make their feelings known. Apart from the Starbucks thats coming in, that is.
