Ken, when posts contain solutions to anything do the local politicians listen...or have they, like the people in the capital caught the same deafness disease?

There is current concern about the building of a new bus station. This is something that will affect locals greatly...especially the locals who are not rich enough to have their own transport. This new development will take trade away from the centre of town....it may just take trade out of the town altogether.

If there is a bus in the station with a better destination than Accrington town centre, people are going to get on it and explore what another town has to offer.
Now, they walk round the market before they choose that option
There was great debate on here about the subject......ideas and solutions were offered up...has anyone taken one jot of notice?
I doubt it very much.

If you do not like the forum anymore, then no-one forces you to come here.
It is a public forum where people can say(within the rules of the forum) what they feel.
Most of what is posted about our MP has some basis to it...... he has come on here and made some pretty scathing(and in my opinion - and I know that is pretty worthless) juvenile remarks....the silliest of which was the 95% one...it was obviously a figure plucked out of thin air and fooled no-one, but irritated many of those who put a cross in the box for GJ.
I speak for myself, I am disappointed in our MP...in the same way you are disappointed in this forum.......the difference being that GJ was elected to represent us.

Oh and just an aside I do not think that describing the members od the forum im such colourful terms(baying hounds) does you any favours either.
I say this with the utmost respect
