[Margaret Pilkington]

Well, Kate...I don't feel smug about the decision to shelve this plan.
While I agree that Peel Street is not an ideal bus station....and I don't think it was ever 'planned'....it just sort of evolved.
I am pleased that the bus station isn't going to be where the train station is......that would be a fair old uphill hoik for many folk who use buses on a regular basis.......and would be another move away from the current town centre....which would be detrimental to trade.....well, other than perhaps Tesco's....... who don't need our money.

I do agree that Accrington needs some radical changes to make it glorious again...but in the current financial climate I think that this is unlikely to happen........the planners will continue to tinker around the edges....which never ever provides any real benefits.
