The Haworth can't physically move so it's never going to be relocated in a different part of the county. It's always going to be there for the people of Accrington.

And btw - if it's for the people of Accrington, why do the people of Accrington not use it??????
I don't know Gayle whether there's anything in the rumours or not. It was left to the people of Acrington. which now as you say would be the people of Hyndburn.

People should use it more, but there again Art Galleries are not to everyone's taste. I would like to see it moving to more of Art Gallery/ Museum. Which could include the history of the area, and things like that

I think that would have greater public appeal.
