Point is they intend to expand the pedestrianised area...many traders think this will lose them business, try asking around or at the very least doing some research..people do not like carrying their shopping around...they want to dump it in the boot and shop some more. Neither Blackburn nor Burnley markets are doing 'well'..their satellite retail parks are doing good business, and thanks to HBC destroying Whitebirk, so is the Mall in Blackburn, and shortly so will a certain retail park in Rawtenstall..

So does this mean that HBC are totally impotent when faced with the might of LCC?..Whats the point of voting for impotent councillors?

Despite all your hard work over numerous years, LCC decide that Rhyddings Park would be an ideal centralised industrial estate.....wanna save face Neil?
