From Chav1 on a different thread.

i know there are possibly other places but milnshaw park sprung to mind becayse i went there recently and was dismayed at how much in ruin it was compared to 10-15 years ago

edit:

from what i read in gayles thread they are using a park in burnley so why not in accy..?

could it be the desighners ego insisting that it be on the coppice having his creation looking down on all of us or is he open to other locations

i for one would back it if it somthing was done on milnshaw park te only objection i have to the scheme is that they want to use the coppice

Firstly, there are two in parks - one in Corporation Park, Blackburn and the other at Wycoller Country Park in Pendle. These two sites were selected because they afford incredible views of the towns and surrounding countryside. That is the main criteria for a Panopticon site and I'm not sure but I don't think Milnshaw Park fulfills that criteria.

The designer is not insisting on that site at all. He was asked to design something with that site in mind. The site was selected long before Peter Beard was involved.

Finally, could I say, I have pulled this over from another thread - if you have any questions to ask me please keep it to this thread. I will set up a poll myself (it will have to be on yet another thread as technically I didn't start this thread myself).
