Re: milnshaw park or the coppice

Well I think they should build it on "Whinney Hill Tip".

This post is not a troll, I'm serious.

I left Accy over ten years ago and I've been browsing around this site going down memory lane etc etc waffle waffle.

Anyway I can't believe what a state the place is in now, I used to play in Milnshaw park as a kid, I know every nook and cranny. It is an utter disgrace how HBC have been letting the Borough go down hill as a whole.

It seems like they are throwing money into the town centre as if it was a bottomless pit, what kind of vision do the councillors have for the town?

Why are they allowed to get away with bulldozing such monuments as the Accy Grammar School and then build the ugly green monster where the Peel st Bus station used to be. It does not belong amongst all the old buildings that surround it.

Why is Accrington trying to be so ultra modern?
Why not market Accrington for the town that it's always been. an industrial cotton town. HBC should be proud of the heritage and market that instead of trying to bulldoze every last remnant and become a modern yuppy bedroom town for the Manchester commuters.

Try and see these "developments" from somebody else's perspective, I watch from afar and I am literally so mad that I am cussing profanities as I browse the Accy Web site.

Deep down somewhere inside I love Accrington but to tell you the honest truth when I look at the state it's in now I'm glad I left when I did.

Take off the rose coloured glasses folks and take a good look around you, exactly what is HBC doing with all "your" money.

Anyway I've got to go and calm down before I tell you what I really think.

Cheers,

Dennis.
