Re: Hyndburn Masterplan

Presume they had no copies then of the posters Gayle for you to take away?
Hopefully, they will be on their web-site Monday then.

Another little aside is that .. do you remember last year when the students of the University of Sheffield did a project on regeneration of Accrington, there has now been a book published by Elevate East Lancashire on their findings called 'This would never happen in Accrington .. or could it ?'

Urbed have acknowledge this work on their site:-

Urban Regeneration and Masterplanning Consultants – URBED, Manchester UK

and the Urbed employee I spoke to said they did use some of their ideas.

Let's hope the positive attitude will be 'or could it?

No, this is just the feedback from the workshops held in July. The plans have now been drawn up and are being presented to us - these are the ones that people should go and see.

Re: Hyndburn Masterplan

I think people need to stop looking at what we've got and start thinking about what we could have. I think the bus station possibilities sound better than we have at present.

Re: Hyndburn Masterplan

I have read quite a lot of that link, and did notice that 'a bandstand' in the town centre was mentioned as desirable ;)

There used to be a bandstand in Rhyddings park, but the little dears burnt it down :eek:

The reason why I raised this in this thread -
Not long ago we discussed the Oakhill Park bandstand.
To rebuild or not to rebuild etc., now that the council has got the insurance payout.
Most folks wanted a rebuild in the park, which I believe is now decided.

I suggested rebuild in town centre- looks like these planners have the same idea - outdoor entertainment venues are mentioned.

Just a comment margaret, the planners may well have the same idea or ideas, are they not all looking back in time at what used to be :)

Re: Hyndburn Masterplan

Was discussing this subject last night over dinner with a member of our party who works in a shop the bottom of Peel Street. Obviously, the bus station came up .. she showed 'concern' as to the removal of the Bus Station to Crawshaw Street, commented on the distance it was away from her premises.

Said 'everything seems to be moving to the other end of town'. Never used this expression before as never considered Accrington town centre big enough to have 'another end'. The move would not be more than 300 yards (approx?) away.. :D

Sorry Park .. don't think I made this clear enough, was not her having to walk further to the bus, the issue seemed to be that they would lose custom due to the fact that the bus station was not on their doorstep anymore, and that the council were concentrating on that side of town more.

Couldn't just comment much, as didn't take in what the suggestions were for what would replace this site . think just pedestrian .. but will have to wait until I can get hold of copies.

Same difference though, at least whilst the bus station is on Peel st it's central to the shops and market. I know the bus station is far from ideal as it is, but I agree with Mick not sure that crawshaw st is the answer.

As Gayle stated I will have to go and have a good look at the plans.

Re: Hyndburn Masterplan

In the past oppostion councillors tried to say that Peter Britcliffe had a conflict of interests, in regards to the siting of the bus station.

If I recall rightly, in this case the complaint wasn't upheld.
