There were never any plans to put the clock back in the Arndale Centre as they don't want it.
Yes there was a meeting but as usual those who had been moaning the loudest about the clock being restored did not bother to turn up. I wasn't really expecting them to.
It was the usual story of "Someone should sort out the clock but I can't be bothered to help but I will make a loud noise about it"
Those that were talking about it appear to have gone quiet after not bothering to turn up.
From memory there were 2 Councillors and 3 or 4 members of the public at the meeting. Some who did not turn up even moaned that the meeting was in Oswaldtwistle. The location was offered as a free venue and my comment was "If they can't be bothered to travel the massive distance to Oswaldtwistle then they are not the right people to sort out the clock"
