Re: Broadway Insanity
It is unbelievable the amount of money which has been spent on Broadway, and it now looks completely soulless. I still can't understand why, they had to spend so much money, for a consultant to design the scheme, when they could have asked in the Observer for people to submit their ideas for what ws needed.
At least when there were the raised flowerbeds and forms it had some character. Why must all Town Centres be sanitised wastelands? I find it hard to believe the trees were dying, I am sure they could have had the dead wood pruned out and been rejunevated. |

Makes me laugh thinking about it MP. Would we for example have got through the two wars, I'm too young of course but those that aren't. Would the country have ever got back to any nomality, we we have had the schools houses businesses built, would we have ever gone to school. Th risk of an open school or a temporary class room, 35 kids to one teacher and an art lesson involving metal scissors. Nothing wrong with being a tree hugger mp. |

What do you as a council tax payer want, safer areas with lower tax, or a dangerous town centre with the added bonus of higher council tax to pay for all the accident claims? I will go for lower tax and a safer place to live thanks |

Dont forget the number of feathered members of the local "BOMBER GROUP" who would be in heaven. To me it looks like the council wants beauty their way not natures way. How long before they change the set up again? |

Re: Broadway Insanity
I think the new trees WILL look beautiful....but I could see nothing wrong with the older trees....and how much nicer it would have looked if there had been the mix of the more mature trees with the striplings.....it is about character. I just get a bit jaded with the homogenized centres of towns......all the shops the same.....little difference in the street furniture.

Re: Broadway Insanity
And how long will it be before someone judges the new trees to be a hazard of some description and cut those down too?

Proberly by the next administration.

Re: Broadway Insanity
I suppose there is method in the madness. Accrington means 'ring of oak' and presumably all the original oaks have long gone so they perhaps have a plan to reinstate a ring of oaks around the town.
