I am sure there must be better ways to deal with the problem than have the bus station all the way down Union Street....this will take trade further away from the town centre...although Tesco would probably like this better.

Talking to some foreigners recently about this. Actually from Helmshore, and not regular visitors to Accrington.
They said the market hadn't been as good, or as vibrant, as when it was temporarily sited on Broadway, whilst they built Toy Town/Wilkinson's.
The market at the side of the Market Hall should be shifted, Thus freeing up any number of bays for buses. Just as it used to be.
God forbid, if the market once again thrives, doubtful though that is, after all the meddling 'improvements', then any extra stalls could be accommodated quite easily on Broadway.
Another bonus being that there would be less room for any (expensive) flash mob dancers to strut their feeble thing.
