I thought the prefferred option of 3 -4 was the best and agree that providing it is undertaken by quality developerd it will be good.
I agree with Garinda, about the demoliton of the 'tasteless' Town Hall extension, but also feel that the money spent on Broadway has been wasted. I did feel at the timwe that they started refurbishing Broadway, that all it really needed was to returned to what it was before the old outdoor Market was demolished and the new shops built. Despite the money spent on it, it is now 'souless', it used to be an attractive area, with the raised gardens and the wooden benches.

I also filled in a questionaire yesterday.

I particularly liked the idea of opening up Blackburn Road, and having more access from Eastgate. As it now stands the main access routes to Accrington actually encourage you to bypass the Town Centre completely.

I liked the ideas for the Grange Lane area.
