I Don't believe it!!!!!!!
It appears that the good burghers of Hyndburn are in the process of granting planning permission for the conversion of retail premises on Blackburn Road into a "luxury super pub". This time, the villians are the Barracuda chain, and we're about to get a "Smith and Jones" themed establisment.
Ignore the slick marketing spin of this company. Having previously visited one of their outlets, which I can only describe as a super-sized vomitorium, I can assure you that this place will be worse for Accy than one of the obnoxious Wetherspoons joints. Should this go ahead, it will be a sad day for the town.
Who will join me in getting a petition rolling?
