I mean, if you go to Manchester to the theatre are you ever able to park right next to the theatre itself, or Blackburn for that matter? There is tons of parking available at Ossy Mills which theatre goers can use and walk up (probably about the same distance as from the Arndale car park in Manchester to the Royal Exchange) or the car park behind the shops on Union Rd, very close by - or for a while the car park at Rhyddings School was open for use but no one used it (choosing instead to park in front of residential homes).

Was gonna' say something like this myself Gayle, was wondering about the school for instance. Don't know why it is different somehow .. just is. Why though ? Do you think perhaps because it is more elderly people attend events locally ? Suppose some sort of Park n Ride scheme would be out of the question.

I never noticed that the school was available at one time ... perhaps not directed there very well ?
