Secret location for drug and alcohol centre
 

Location secret of new drugs and alcohol centre in Accrington (From Lancashire Telegraph)

So anybody any ideas where it might be going?

Or any guesses?

well its not on Aveune Parade :-)

If this Chris Dixon was so sure that there would be no public outcry then he should name the place NOW.

Not that it will affect me. I live in Darwen. But once one local authority rides roughshod over the people’s wishes it could always spread to other authorities.

I think it will be that white elephant Acorn Centre on Blackburn Rd
There are no houses either side or behind it YET

Re: Secret location for drug and alcohol centre
 

well its a knocking bet it won't be up New Lane.:rolleyes:

Re: Secret location for drug and alcohol centre
 

Why not join it with Maundy Grange as it will probably be dealing with the same people.:rolleyes::(

well there are a couple of jobs going for a 'drugs and alcohol' centre on the jobcentre plus website, i wonder if they are for this place?

Re: Secret location for drug and alcohol centre
 

If they are advertising for staff already, it looks as though the location wont need any refurbishment - this strengthens the case that it will likely be Acorn Health Centre

Might be why the Great one's gaff is for sale Cashy!!!!:D

I cant understand the various quotes in the Telegraph to be honest. "Britters" says he wants the PCT to "come clean" and announce where the place is that they have "found", and yet the spokesperson for the PCT seems to indicate that the Council are involved and suportive of the location?

QUOTE

Val Robertson, NHS East Lancashire corporate affairs director, said: "We have identified a property that we are looking at for this treatment centre and we are awaiting a decision now from Hyndburn council.

"We have had a letter of general support from the council, subject to the normal planning requirements for a change of use.

Shouldnt be up to the council to name the location. If PCT are that confident about it there wont be trouble. Besides it wouldnt take long to find out just follow their "clients" to the front door.

i do hope its not the acorn centre,enuff rougess around here as it is,

Re: Secret location for drug and alcohol centre
 

I do know where its been suggested its going but I don't know if I'm allowed to say. Its not in either of the 2 health centres though.

Re: Secret location for drug and alcohol centre
 

this is supposed to be a free and democratic country,why are you not allowed to tell us,if other councillors are putting pressure on people not to say, is this some kind of bullying or what laws are they using to keep everybody quiet.this is a bit fishy:confused:
