Well, think we agree to disagree
I would love to see the town that you describe Gayle, but got to make it commercially viable in the first instance. Next was only an example by the way, but we punters do love 'em, men or women.
These young folks not interested in the Bramwells, Wood Tobacconists and so forth, but attracting them to what they
want will overspill to build others around them. We are not initially a town like Hebden Bridge, Skipton or Clitheroe which is a tourist attraction in the first degree, and would be difficult to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
As before, all about keeping our folks
in ... not competing with Blackburn or Burnley.
Seem to be two ends of the poles .. think we should meet in the middle you and I and could get some sorta' compromise, obviously, we both care about our township ...HYNDBURN !! (any opportunity
)
This is the site you should be studying:-
Planning Policy Statement 6: Planning for Town Centres - Communities and Local Government
Pity you didn't make Councillor Gayle (meant genuinely) .. I would have been your appendage, or whatever they call the 'escort' to the Mayor .. whoops off thread .. why do they have to have one of those anyway ? All extra cost like.
