I am a Panopticon supporter, true. But not the parody, or the spaceship, or the hillocks or any other bullocks! The Regional Park is the only thing I have seen of any worth eminate from that quango ELP and I think the idea has much merit.
I understand Mr Beard has scrapped the hills and it is now something to do with the Accy Pals, the trenches [which I am told were 2nd world war trenches not the pals?] and incorporating the cannons.
BUT - the town centre, jobs, the economy and basic quality of life indices are far more important than this project. This project was all about one mans newspaper headlines and his elections IMHO.
More curious to note, is how quickly BwD became bedfellows with LCC and drove the agenda. A reminder who the big boys in East lancs are, who gets all the funding and who the small fry are.
