It doesn't change my opinion that something in Accrington should be named after him.
Eastgate would be favourite, but another person who I have been in conversation with suggested that perhaps the area that is to be the new Bus Station might have a square named after him. His name should be remembered. I hope there are members of HBC who are reading this, that perhaps have some clout to facilitate such a proposal. I am sure it would meet with public approval.

Its the highways agency not the Council who have the responsibility for the roads and the naming of, although we would be consulted. New housing developments, the Council are consulted about possible names for any new roads, avenues, whatever. And the Council can put suggestions forward to the developers for names. You might remember a few years ago one of our former Councillors, the late Alan Critchlow had a road named after him in Rishton.
