Re: Accrington's new bus station "to be"
I hear what you are saying but is difficult for some transport users to attend meetings.......were these consultation meetings ever publicised? I don't remember seeing any publicity about them.......the people who use public transport are usually the elderly and young mums with toddlers and prams.....they are the ones who should have been asked......and these people are the ones who would find it hard to get to meetings.(lots of older people do not venture out of their houses in the evening - I know this from speaking to people my own age and older. Young mums may not attend because of their childcare responsibilities. And then there is always the apathy that creeps in, because people fail to see how it will affect them........maybe not right now, but in the future when they get older and less able to get about)
There should've been a stall on the market with the proposals laid out, and perhaps the proposals in writing for people to take away and respond to by questionaire.
I can't see that it is too late until the bus station is actually built and found to be an impractical white elephant.
