Haworth Art Gallery - yes I'd forgotten that, and the Tiffany glass collection. That is one thing worth mentioning.

Accrington Stanley - yes things are looking up for Stanley I agree but nothing unique or unusual plenty of towns have football teams.

Warner Street - nice street with some nice shops but plenty of towns have more than one nice street with even nicer shops.

Canal corridor at Church - not too familiar with this, apart from being aware of derelict buildings which seem to have been derelict forever.

Beautiful views from hills over Ossy - yes I agree there are plenty of nice views.

The Coppice and the views from it - see above

Foxhill Nature Reserve - a hidden gem and we could so easily have similar in Accy but haven't.

Oswaldtwistle Civic Theatre - Council involvement is ..........?

Accrington & Rossendale College - Yes we had a look round this week as my eldest daughter is choosing her college for next year. But by the same standard you could put Springhill School which was recently newly built and has all mod cons and state of the art technology. They are hardly tourist attractions.

11 parks (more green space per person than anywhere else) - and more dereliction, rubbish, vandalism....

Ossy Cloggers - surely things like this are down to the individuals who organise them? Other towns have similar.

Hyndburn Comets - ditto

Huncoat in Bloom - yes nice to see floral decoration anywhere in the Borough. Huncoat certainly needs it.

Hyndburn Sports Centre - and a town of this size jolly well ought to have one. Many other towns have same or better.

Community groups like Prospects - I'll reserve an opinion on this one for the mo.


So, yes there are some points which do make it a nice place to live but if there are also some points which drag it down a bit surely it makes more sense to see them and want to improve them than to just ignore them and only look at the view from the top of the Coppice through rose coloured specs.
