Accrington Web - View Single Post - Burnley aren't backward at coming forward!

There were two surprise announcements in the local paper this week, and it's only Wednesday. Burnley is to get a whopping £158 MILLION to revamp the Weavers Triangle. Good news for Burnley, but there is more! Today it was announced that a further £55 MILLION was to be spent on a new retail development for the Town Centre. A total of £213 MILLION in new investment all in the space of a week. This comes on top of a very successful retail development by Sainsbury's and a new Town Centre multilevel Car Park and a brand spanking new Bus Station.

And there is poor Mr. Rix who cannot even manage to get his hands on a couple of hundred thousand to help the traders in Clayton.

There is something seriously, sadly, wrong with HBC.
