Replies: 200 Whitebirk Retail Park Views: 8,161 Posted By Margaret Pilkington Re: Whitebirk Retail Park I just think the council are being peevish....and if the Mall has lobbied against this company...they are too.

Replies: 200 Whitebirk Retail Park Views: 8,161 Posted By Margaret Pilkington Re: Whitebirk Retail Park Neil, you are a master of understatement.:D It just does the town no favours at all. I know that all towns have their less salubrious parts, but this is on a main route into the town.

Replies: 200 Whitebirk Retail Park Views: 8,161 Posted By Margaret Pilkington Re: Whitebirk Retail Park Well, Neil, it isn't good, but I think the Blackburn road entry to town is worse. It might not be the bumhole of the world, but you can smell it from there!

Replies: 200 Whitebirk Retail Park Views: 8,161 Posted By Margaret Pilkington Re: Whitebirk Retail Park Less, that will be good. There is nothing worse than coming into the town from that direction. It gives a really bad impression of the town. I'm glad something is going to be done about it.
