How is it planning gone mad? They are knocking down a building that has been empty for several years and has slowly become an eye-sore due to neglect and intend to invest in a new building bringing trade to an area that wasn't being used. In another thread we are all bemoaning M&S leaving the town, here we have someone investing in the town.

Yes it is one of the busiest Rd's though as with ASDA further along the same Rd I suspect there will be off road parking which aught to keep the users safe. Whether the pub was built or not the school would still be where it is, parents and staff seem to cope quite well, or are you suggesting that it may suddenly become a temptation for these 9 to 11 year olds to nip across this busy Rd for a couple of under age pints at lunch time?

Hadn't heard about the Police station application, perhaps it would have been planning gone mad, placing it on one of Accrington's busiest Rd's and opposite a school as well?
