Shop Fronts ?
 

Just wondered if anyone can enlighten me on these Planning Applications from HBC. Are more than this:


11/10/0420 Advertisement Application: Display of 2 24/09/2010
externally illuminated fascia signs to include
2 trough lights to the top of each sign
410 412 Blackburn Road
Accrington.
Hyndburn Borough Council


11/10/0425 Full: Installation of new shop fronts and 24/09/2010
new windows including improvements to
facade, paving works to frontage and tree
planting
398 - 412 Blackburn Road
Accrington.

Hyndburn Borough Council


Are they the landlords of these shops ?
Are they occupied already or hoping to attract tenants ?

Just wondered if they were working on a scheme (like Southampton ?) where instead of borded up shops, the council have tidied up the frontage and put 'displays' in the window to make a road look more attractive and in turn will attract.

Looked on google maps - the part of Blackburn Rd they refer to is opposite the health centre at Antley

Tree planting:confused:
..at least it will stop the parking on the pavement that Mick highlights there.

Re: Shop Fronts ?
 

Ah, so that block then ...mmm yes, Mick will be pleased :D

Aren't they all occupied ?

I was wondering if it could have been the latter suggestion ... 'think' they have talked about doing this scheme ... would have made a great debate. LOL.

So would bollards and railings.
Made of concrete other wise they would get nicked.

Retlaw.

I trust that the trees to be planted will be more than young saplings; they will have to be reasonably mature otherwise they'll just get snapped by the local yobbos.

I noticed last week that the wall by Acorn Park (on Blackburn Road) has not been reinstated and some cheap metal railings have been put in it's place. A pretty pathetic performance by those in charge of the planning department, I think.
