Looks like a serious accident on the car park. Closed off from bottom of Willows Lane since 6.30pm. Still closed now.

which car park??

Re: Blackburn Rd Car Park Closed
 

Blackburn Rd itself, usually referred to on here as the car park because of the number of cars parked up on the yellow lines :)

Re: Blackburn Rd Car Park Closed
 

Incident
No casualties - burst gas main probably causing the delay

Re: Blackburn Rd Car Park Closed
 

it will be someone walking down the pavement got run over

Re: Blackburn Rd Car Park Closed
 

Not as bad as it looks then :)

Was actually a small white van, we saw it being taken away on the back of the towtruck.

Re: Blackburn Rd Car Park Closed

Re: Blackburn Rd Car Park Closed
 

Gas leak on Blackburn rd eh?? :rolleyes: wonder if they have managed to make it safe :rolleyes:

Re: Blackburn Rd Car Park Closed
 

Seems to be a discepancy in our house, it may have been a blue car on the back of the towtruck. One of us has bad eyesight :D:D:D:D

Re: Blackburn Rd Car Park Closed
 

More importantly will they remember to make sure the yellow lines are visible for parking up tomorrow :rolleyes:

Re: Blackburn Rd Car Park Closed
 

Probably one of those who race around in flash cars come along and with cars parked up going to indian place or a-z no room to move and crash. blame the only people who ever really park on that bit.

Re: Blackburn Rd Car Park Closed
 

one of the worst places is that shop that used to be bootleggers on blackburn rd there is allways a van on the pavment (all four wheels on the pavement ) not just two loading or unloading.
i have seen people with prams having to walk into the road to get past

Re: Blackburn Rd Car Park Closed

Re: Blackburn Rd Car Park Closed
 

But mick its an offence to park on the pavement:(:D

Re: Blackburn Rd Car Park Closed
 

the incident was thanks to a rather crazy driver shootin down from willows lane tryin to overtake a car that was tryin to park infront of roosters cottage she mistimed it all comin in too fast she cudnt control it hit antoher corsa up which she mounted the kerb hit a gas mains pipe of sahad the takeaway.

i'd love to know what happened to her though if any charges were bought against her

Re: Blackburn Rd Car Park Closed
 

Are the police ever going to do anything about the way cars are parked along Blackburn Road?? Going on today and a van just pulled up right onto the pavement and the driver just left it there and went into a shop. The bus couldn't get through and if there had been an emergency the ambulance or fire engine would never have got past. It is illegal to park on double yellow lines and even worse when you are on the pavement. Time the offending drivers got issued with tickets or maybe it will take a fatality for something to be done!!!!

Re: Blackburn Rd Car Park Closed
 

they had a clampdown/ purge on that stretch last year, did a few fer a couple of days n then it was back to normal.:rolleyes: dont think the traffic wardens know blackburn rd is that long.

Re: Blackburn Rd Car Park Closed
 

As well as the Blackburn Rd car park, has anyone noticed there is also a large car salesroom running up Manchester Rd round the Oakhill Park area ?

Re: Blackburn Rd Car Park Closed
 

yep but at least its easier to drive through.;)

Re: Blackburn Rd Car Park Closed
 

Re: Blackburn Rd Car Park Closed
 

thats to keep the travellers off.:D

Re: Blackburn Rd Car Park Closed
 

its a shame that the regeneration scheme that was meant to happen doesnt involve that side of blackburn rd. those houses along the bike shop and the block along really need knocking down - then the road could be widened and the whole area wud look alot better - its almost claustrauphobic!

Re: Blackburn Rd Car Park Closed
 

Why can't people just not park where they shouldn't? It is all good and well talking about widening the road but if the double yellow lines were taken notice of there would be no need.

Re: Blackburn Rd Car Park Closed
 

I remember HBC creating a bye law about the number of cars for sale on a road. Shame they don't enforce it.

I wonder how many of the for sale cars are insured? Probably none. PC Plod could impound them all for no insurance.
