I think what they should do, to increase the number of cars still further, is to hide the bus station away, behind some buildings away from the town centre - oh wait, it appears they have already thought of that one.
And they should formulate a one way system that makes no sense.....does not improve a drivers desire to come into the town unless they positively cannot avoid it.
Oh, Yes...they have done that too.
It is time to start organising a funeral wreath for Accrington Market Hall and town centre...the bus station is taking folk out of town to places where trade is valued and welcomed.
Nice Job town planners....maybe you should all go back to your Lego sets
