Not sure on this Park .. they have owned the building for some time, trying to rent out business units which wasn't successful. Who knows ? Could make a decent housing estate and give a needed lift to this area ? Will make an attempt to get down to Scaitcliffe House .. bloody pain. Only outline, of course, at the moment.

What you trying to say Kate, that our Graham is incoherent

never

Thought you might step in on this one ... LOL
Would I suggest that ? Translated as "not in the near future", I presume. Or maybe "no comment".

I did not know where else to put this, but planning applications seemed the right place.

I read this article

â€˜Priorityâ€™ Accrington ward revamp planned (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Then read this article

Specialist officer appointed to tackle Hyndburn's 2,000 empty homes (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Then I read the Observer page 14 Homes Plan for old mill....an outline application for residential development at the Woodnook Mill

Am I missing the point here or, are HBC planning a revamp of an Accrington ward, when they have not finished what they started, just look at the mess on Blackburn road, and at the same time employing a person to look at all the empty property in Hyndburn (this includes houses) and then I see a planning application to convert a mill in to residential units, houses. Looks like a counicl that has lost the plot.

Going to be nothing left standing at the traffic lights.
have you any idea when all the land adjacent to blackburn road is going to be built on kate, looks a real mess, it would also seem that they are starting on phase 2.

Not sure which land you mean Park .. if Blackburn Road Accrington .. can only pick up what I read. As you say can't be long before they will be getting on with Phase 2 if not already started. This was the last I read :

Accrington revamp scheme go-ahead (From Lancashire Telegraph)

As for the new Regeneration Officer, suspect is all part of the Elevate money and tied up too with the Barnfield/Peel Park make-over.

Lots of council properties still empty, which could have a face list to give people affordable housing, alongside new builds tied up with more pleasant surroundings.

As you say kate a make over for the existing empty council properties may get them occupied and taken off the 2,000 + empty property register.

That surprises me because only a few weeks ago Hynburn Homes were congratulating themselves on the turnaround/empty rate here-

Looks that way margaret, but why the formation of the second company, would that not lead to a duplication in management, admin staff etc.
Like the bit about Hyndburn Homes Repairs being the biggest direct works outfit in the area. I take it that the Twin Valley outfit in BwD is classed as being out of the area

My recent experience as detailed in this thread
http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/f...ent-44973.html

leads me to think that their delight at being audited as 'fair' by the Audit commission

Contour Housing - Hyndburn Homes Social Housing, Regeneration and Community News & Events Details

is an excercise in boosting staff morale. Especially as there are only 4 grades of performance and 'fair' is 3rd
