I know it might be over-simplistic but, what if the Blackburn road was turned into a throughfare that ALL traffic could use? This in itself would solve a few problems all at once! For example buses could travel along it saving them from having to divert along unsuitable side streets, Motorists could use it as a short cut from one side of Accrington to the other, Pedestrians could be re-trained to use pavements & look before they cross.
Strangers to the town would be able to see that we actually do have some shops left as they hurried through from Blackburn to Burnley (some may even be tempted to stop & spend a pound!).
Introducing this system could also mean that our blue boxes & paper sacks would no longer be required because Hyndburn would be able to reach their re-cycling quota just by scrapping the street signs.
But whatever happens it won't have anything at all to do with what the majority of us want.
