How can they spruce up a car park? :confused:
There's the old fire station too that's an eyesore. |

I saw the plans for this work at the Area Council meeting and welcome most improvement work in our town. Your post is typical of someone who is not interested in finding out what is really going on and just want to complain about everything the Council do. Next you will be saying they should not put up 3 new cctv camera's in Ossy or that the Council should not have spent money renovating the pets corner in Rhyddings park. |
Re: spruce up for ossy
Neil, I was at that meeting too and I'm not sure if I can remember right but didn't they say that only two out of the three were definitely going to be done? Didn't we have a vote as to which two it was going to be?
I hope, if the report is correct, they've found the funding for all three as that would be great. As for the Paladium and Fire Station - yes, they're horrid but they're privately owned, along with the space outside the Civic Theatre which has had planning permission granted for some houses but since knocking the old folks home down ages ago they haven't laid a single brick. Unfortunately, I doubt there's anything the council can do about that either!!!! |

Does the Co-op car park belong to the council? Or are they talking about sprucing up the 'garden' area around the front of the co-op which is full of overgrown shrubs & weeds? Cutting them back or making the car park more attractive unfortunately won't stop littering. As for the the war memorial although it may improve the aesthetic of the monument an ornate railing won't stop school children from sitting on it eating their lunch and leaving behind their rubbish! I'm not saying I'm an expert in council matters, but sometimes it seems like the council throw good money after bad. They do have good intentions of improving the town, but unfortunately they cannot change the poor behaviour of those who have no respect for the war memorial or their town's pride by dropping litter. We know that the Palladium & Fire Station are privately owned but surely either the Buildings Regulator or Environmental Health can take action over derelict buildings? Sprucing up the town 'paints over the cracks' but isn't a long-term solution. |

May be they would take action if some one got hurt by objects falling from these buildings, but then it would be like closing the stable door after the horse had bolted. |
Re: spruce up for ossy
Called in at the new booze busters store this afternoon, was well impressed with it, it's clean, well stocked, and the staff were very pleasant.
On the other side of the road just before 'ossy mills' entrance there is a row of what was empty shops that are being refurbished so that to must be a plus for Ossy. Anyone any idea what the building/shops are going to be used for? |

The shops that are being renovated are linked to Ossy Mills, I think it's going to be the Hothouse section and a coffee shop. |

There was a sign in the window a few weeks ago with Ossy Mills Logo saying coffee shop & (I think) Hothouse coming soon. Unless they've split it up - one part was the big fancy dress shop & the other a small TV repair shop from memory? I'll have a nosey when I pop down over the weekend.

I've mentioned on here many times before, my grandfather was killed aged twenty two in Normandy, six months before my mum was born. To her this is the nearest thing she has to a grave for her father, and I applaud the council for this initiative. Hats off also to Roy and Jean Lockwood, who through the British Legion, are collecting all the names of those from Oswaldtwistle who have died in the various wars, to be inscribed on our war memorial. |

Re: spruce up for ossy
Regarding the pruning of trees on the car park opposite Saint Paul's school - I hope the silver birch trees aren't going to be felled - we have few enough trees on Union Road as it is!
