Maybe on a main route into town that isn't covered from end to toe in either illegally parked vehicles, double parked vehicles, potholes or taxis driven by half wits for a start...and yeah..I drove in to Accrington from Church today and saw all of the above!

Yes it does (although its obvious Barrie was being a bit tongue in cheek)..it points out the fact that our council (and our road safety conscious MP) blindly ignore the parking issues in favour of attempting to 'pretty up' the area in a vain attempt to entice the shoppers of Blackburn, who have big name shops and a number of bargain satellite retail parks to a town using an advertising agency (which posts on this forum...SDA), probably paid for using revenue from you, to extol the virtues of a market hall shopper.
i.e. Road safety, the highway code and pure common sense are irrelevant if they get bums on seats to spend in the town
