Even though consultation has taken place, and various bodies are involved, surely H.B.C. have the authority to halt the process, if they so wished?

I don't know why I'm getting so het up.

H.B.C. are strongly in favour of having a new bus station, at any cost. Therefore it will happen.

We know that when funding for it was dangled like a carrot on a stick, if they backed L.C.C.'s Pennine Reach scheme, which they did.

I can't see any positive benefits to Accrington, if the bus station is relocated to Crawshaw St.

'Whilst having a deferential opinion on the wider Pennine Reach scheme, my continued interest lies in seeing a new bus station in Accrington.'
Graham Jones MP: Pennine Reach: A scheme still alive and kicking despite media reports as to it's premature demise.

Perhaps Graham could clearly set out just what the benefits to the town will be?

So when it's all done and dusted, as it inevitably will be, at a later date we the public can evaluate if those that supported the fight for relocating the bus station were right.
