Warner Street -Struggling independent retailers, not well enough supported by the council, who are on a mission to create even more retail spaces, even whilst we have new ones empty. Seem to think Accrington is centred on Broadway.
Canal corridor at Church -Crying out for regeneration. Would have been great if the much touted Zeri had ever taken off.
Beautiful views from hills over Ossy. Thankfully.
Oswaldtwistle Civic Theatre -Again under used, as it was in the past for professional touring companies. Now the home of licky-likey tribute bands and amateur groups. No offence.
Foxhill Nature Reserve -In need of money for path maintenance, and a ranger to empty the rubbish bins at least twice a year, and to chase out underage drinkers.
The Coppice and the views from it -Thankfully still unspoilt.
Accrington & Rossendale College -Shamefully downgraded so that it now doesn't offer A-levels.
11 parks (more green space per person than anywhere else) Most dismally a shadsow of their former glorious selves.
Ossy Cloggers -Fair enough.
Huncoat in Bloom -Whoosh, that must have passed me by, which as a nosey beggar equals not very well publicised.
Hyndburn Sports Centre -Fair enough, but no better or worse than any other sporting venue in the country.
Hyndburn Comets -Pass.
Community groups like Prospects -Agreed.
See. Critical...and constructive.
