For the sake of the economic future of the many businesses along the route, I'll be thrilled if the scheme doesn't materialise.

On the stretch of Blackburn Road I'm referring to, there are already double yellow lines, as there would be along the entire Pennine Reach, but these are ignored, by the drivers who constantly park there to do there shopping, and by the wardens, who apparently see this as a no go area, and prefer to stay busily issuing tickets in the town centre.

It's not sour grapes, by the way, I've never had a parking ticket.

Just a frustrated observation from my twice weekly visit, driving that way into Accy.
