We have now had a reple from Greg Pope MP
Quote:
Sorry about the delay in getting back to you. The clock is currently in
storage awaiting restoration/repair works. I understand that the management
of the Arndale Centre have offered the clock to Hyndburn Borough Council,
but have pointed out that it needs to be placed somewhere covered. Hyndburn
Council haven't got back in touch with the Arndale people yet as presumably
they are thinking about it.
I hope that this is helpful.
Best wishes,
Greg Pope MP

I am guessing the still awaited letter from the Arndale will have much the same information... Yes?
OK lets look at the reply.. "The clock is awaiting repair and restoration" This gives the impression that its in hand. Well having spoken to Andy Plant the creator and the person who they brought in to dissmantle it.. he knows nothing of any restoration or repair work... Surely given that they got him to dissmantle it then they would get him to fix it? So I aint too sure I like that answer..
Arndale have offered it to the council who havent replied? Looks like the trail stops at the council door.. But there are so many departmens it would be hit and miss contacting them... Thus I have replied to Greg Pope asking if he knows... However one of the questions I asked the arndale manager in my fax was..If he cant provide answers then can he point me in the right direction.. Surely if the Arndale have offered it to the council then they will know what department.
So awaiting the letter from arndale.. presumably tommorow.. after that the next step is o find out what department of the council is dealing with this and contact them
All agreed??
