Add to that - closing the tourist information on Saturdays, the awful blue panels on the council building (oh how I'd love to put some artwork on them), the grotty Arndale carpark, lack of independent stores (I think it needs to be a mix of brand and niche stores) and the fact that the traffic system is all about getting people out of the town and not in it.
One thing I would say about the traffic though is that it's a darn sight better than Blackburn's current fiasco!
