Re: Praise! (for a change) - Burnley Rd, Accrington

burnley rd does look great. It was becoming run down & being a "gateway" into town was likely why it was chosen. Only critisim is rediculous waste of money putting new stone garden walls in & flagging losing gardens ! Walls could've been cleaned / rebuilt using existing. Unfortunately opposite side looks 100 times worse now - unless that gets done or owners invest which i doubt very much.
Woodnook - it's demise was back in 80's when landlords started buyin up houses. I shame every time i walk along hudson st to a friends & cringe each time her parents visit from france. There's plenty legislation the council can use to try to get the area cleaned up it it takes resources they've not got.
Blackburn rd - council or likely the faceless ever moving gravy train that was elevate started at the wrong end. Several councillors agreed with me! Should've been town centre out. Instead the worst's been left and now there's money!
