Whoops .. you are so right Claytender :o Have looked at it many times and never spotted that ... just looked at the top the bottom two. It's in a mess, isn't it.
Suppose I owe the Planning Department an apology.

Got your E-mail and have replied to thank you for your prompt attention.

Lots of improvements to houses still reflecting the reluctance of people to move house. Just these two are of interest:-

Gotta' admire this guy his persistency.

Notice in the Observer that the LCC have given notice of application for planning permission for the new bus station on Crawshaw Street ... good.

re: Planning Applications
 

will only benefit visitors n passing motorists though surely.:D

re: Planning Applications
 

Good for who ? :confused:

re: Planning Applications
 

Misery guts ... think it will be a lovely feature .. might as well be a clock and be useful to some at least ... :p

For the town Lancsdave. I think getting rid of the current overcrowded, added and patched up, dangerous to negotiate one we have got now, is a good move. They are offering a state of the art bus station which will be far more visitor friendly and still within striking distance of the shops.

Also, I love the idea of a civic square to replace the old one ... think this will encourage more people to go into this area besides the passing pedestrian traffic going for the bus. Even you, where your stall is, must admit is a very dark oppressive, carbon emissions filled little corridor which isn't pleasant to walk along. Will be so much nicer when it is more open and light. I think it will only increase visitors to your business.

Now, why do you think the bus station should stay where it is then ?

re: Planning Applications
 

We need a purpose built bus station. Peel St was never a bus station. Peel St is just a street that happened to have stops on it.

And there is a difference between what we have now in my opinion, and a proper bus station. It's also got to be in the right place of course.

re: Planning Applications
 

He likes watching young ladies in short skirts bending over to take their babies out of the pram before getting on the bus :eek:

re: Planning Applications
 

Crawshaw Street is hardly ideal for the elderly or people with mobility problems, it is a fair walk in these circumstances.

re: Planning Applications
 

Hardly Bernie... can't get much closer to the Arndale, wouldn't think more than 100 metres at a guess, and if they wish to visit the market, (not all do) is easily linked and short distance ... :confused:

We are a very small centre and don't have to walk very far to get to any of the shops. If you consider where bus stations at Burnley and Blackburn are ... then visitors have much further to walk.

re: Planning Applications
 

But the buses stop outside both Blackburn and Burnley markets more or less, are there going to be stops nearer to our market?

re: Planning Applications
 

Possibly Bernie .. certainly in the regeneration plan looks like Blackburn Road will be made more accessable and converted into 2-way traffic shared space (in front of Town Hall) .. not sure if the buses will still be running across there though, but blimey ! how much closer do you want buses to be than Crawshaw Street. Still feel only a short distance to the market. I don't think this distance argument holds any clout at all.

re: Planning Applications
 

It might seem a short distance to us who are physically ok to get about but as I said the elderly and people with limited mobility might find it a struggle to carry shopping that far.
