Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

You wouldn't beleive how many people have taken photo's this morning :rolleyes:

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Tee hee .. excellent, Lancsdave... :)

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Are you taking the pee (...to the bogs in the Market Hall)?

Hope the press have been taking photos too, of the new tourist attraction.

:rolleyes:

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

well if anyone rings em, twill take a while to get from manchester.:rolleyes:

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Unless someone emails some pics, to all the local papers, to save 'em some boot leather.

:rolleyes::D

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

If someone's prepared to stake out the new attraction, they might get a shot of Big Issue Darlin', squattin' over the ladies pot.

Showing just how desperate the facilities are needed.

:rolleyes:

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Good grief, our Ken was up bright and early this morning wasn't he:D:D:D

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Like it :D

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

The call has now come through from Scaitcliffe House to remove them. Free Speech !!

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Apply for a grant and call it community art......:D:D:D

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Now I know why I was given the day off lol

It brings to mind those citizen smith episodes tho think they should bring it back and include this real sketch who'd of thought it eh foxy Pmsfl :D. Of all the bum notes and our council hits the big one! Think the Market bosses need flushing out.

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Well, should we chain ourselves to them to stop the removal?

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

well just got a flyer through the door explaining the small play area/ park on street, is being refurbished. must be made nice fer all the chavs that use it frequently to sup cans.:rolleyes: yet they close the public loos in town centre, so bus drivers, shopkeepers, n ordinary shoppers are knackered, seems priorities n hyndburn council, should not be used in the same sentence.:rolleyes:

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Just Pooh, Pooh them, treat the area with the constipation they deserve,

All together now with a rallying couple of verses of the favourite protestors song.

Well I'm on my way t' toilet,
We shall not be moved.
On my way to th' crapper
We shall not be moved,
Just like the pee that's standing in the toilet bowl,
We shall not be moved.

(next verse please)
:)

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

superglue the pottys etc to the floor.Council cuts wont allow spending for them to be removed :)

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Bludgeoned into submission with the same cosh as the traders & toilets it appears ! :rolleyes:

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

i hope someones sent that pic to the press? would show these ******* fer what they really are.:cool:

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Won't make any difference, public opinion is water off a duck's back with this council. Next plan is for them to close on Sunday's then it will be all week.

If we get a Labour council in May no doubt they will ignore it as a past issue

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

that is one of the funniest things ive seen in a long time, but seriously closing the toilets, do we all have to "spend a penny" in the drain like we did as a kid, or do we send HBC our cleaning bills if we just cant cross our legs any longer and have a little accident!! Or if we're passing any of the council buildings can we call in and ask to use their toilets??

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Unless people actually complain to the council it will be laughed off by those responsible. After all they don't spend all day in town so it really doesn't make much difference to them

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

3/4 cubicles max in ladies, u have customers, traders, bus drivers all need to wee then theres gonna be some hefty queues certainly the elderly and disabled users are gonna really struggle, then u have tots too no changing facilities, theres gonna be many a wet floor!!

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Surely it won't be so bad after all the Markets always empty or so I hear:rolleyes:

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Absolute joke, and yes it will be that bad John :D

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Usually but there will be people only going in for a wee the council rudely assume busting bladders will spend money :rolleyes:

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Start a Facebook campaign.

Worth a try.

Helped get that Blackburn J.P. reinstated, after he called some scummy vandals scum.

I'll happily sign my name.

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Me too

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Will look in to that :)

Maybe as a start some people could fill the complaints form in on the council website

Online forms - Comments, Compliments and Complaints Form

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Sent.

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Thank you. It's worth it just to see the format of the receipt mail :D

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Just completed mine, good idea they may listen more to this than Facebook?

thats if they know how to listen.......:rolleyes:

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Sent as well

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

job done.

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Surely there should be no problem for bus drivers? Given their occupation, they should be covered under the ancient statutes of Waggoners Rights. So if they do need a pee, they can do so quite legally providing they do it against the front offside wheel.

I think if they want do do something else, they have to use the horse bag.

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Doubt it mate, was no "Indecent Exposure" in those days.:D

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

No Health & Safety, either....still, I suppose it's worth a try.

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

It is a money saving excercise that they are legally allowed to do, but it will reduce the number of people (especially older people with 'old bladders') visiting the town centre.

British Toilet Association: News from the BTA
extract -
The previous government considered, but failed to implement, a proposal that provision of public toilets should be a statutory duty of local councils.

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Sent my complaint in, think the decision is ludicrous:mad: Counted no fewer than a dozen people heading to the toilets in a very short space of time today. The sooner they are reopened on Monday's and Wednesday's the better IMHO

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

what are they going to do with the loo's? turn them into another charity shop?

turn them into another phone shop? Phones 4 loo?

someone was telling me that one of the loo's in the Market Hall actually has a shower in it....WHY?

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

The law allowing bus drivers to urinate on the rear offside wheel was revoked in the early nineties. The only reason we found out about it was when a driver was prosecuted and as part of his sentence, he was made to sign the sex offenders register.

Sent.

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Lancsdave nip out and order one of these put it in the shop and charge a £1 a time you will make a fortune.

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

One of the points we are trying to make. It's bad enough trying to make a living here without another building being locked up even if it is only a loo.
This council is determined to make the town a ghetto.:mad:

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Roll on May hey

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Why whats happening, is there an early carnival:D

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

De-contamination, if PB was unfortunate enough to find himself rubbing shoulders with the Hoi Polloi when taking a short cut through the market hall in his rush to have his piccy taken for the local rag he can nip in there and remove the risk of disease.

Rumour has it there is a secret door connected where he stores replacement disinfected suits and an incinerator to destroy what he was wearing.

Further rumour says that when a Council middle management official suggested that the heat generated could be used to warm the sports centre, he was never seen again!

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Public opinion has now been taken in to consideration and Sunday has now been added to the list of closing times :)

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

I just received this
The guys email address is: [email protected]

Time to fill up his inbox.
I will be replying shortly

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Looks like we all got the same reply :rolleyes: so if you use the peel st bus services or trade monday, wednesday and sunday you have to use the market, lose business or miss buses to take a long walk and possibly queue for a widdle - great use for the public is that!! All so that the market can justify its white elephant expensive existance and keep one cafe owner happy at the expense of the outside traders and general public - it stinks!!

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Just got this back off Rob:

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

load of crap, its a great way fer local business outside the market, to lose trade, :(

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

when did the market hall start opening on a Sunday?

Sunday 9.30am-2.30pm (optional)

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Last Sunday

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

so they now have to trade 7 days a week in there?

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

It's not like the rest of us bring people in to the town. We've only had some of our regulars from Nelson & Clitheroe today. We've also got an enquiry from a school in Germany but when I send the quote back I'll tell them to come and see us on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday or Saturday :D

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

No it's optional, there is at least one business open

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Maybe they have found the 750k in the pot:rolleyes:

Now we know where it wasn't spent. Its been bunged:rolleyes:

Seems a great way to increase footfall, and try and justify what they have been trying to achieve all along. Email sent;)

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Though you can always troop to the Market Hall.

March across the floor.

Mount the stairs.

Walk through the balcony cafe, and hey presto!

Lavatorial relief.

:rolleyes:

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Is there?

:rolleyes:

You can't help wondering if someone had opened their business in one of the many empty properties that line the town centre streets, there perhaps wouldn't have been the same fiasco, about enforced six day trading, and the closure of the toilets, except those up stairs in the Market Hall.

:rolleyes:

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

correct me if i am wrong but dosnt that route take you through the cafe owned by peter britcliffs son.The very same owner who joined here and had posts removed for advertising and been extreemly rude to members.Sounds like people are been hereded towards one particular buisness to fill empty seats.

its a bit like how in the old days in the wild west they cut off water supplies to force people one way or another except in this case its cutting off water works

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Damn stupid decision if you ask me. Today saw a few mums with prams trying to access the toilets in the Market Hall and it was chaos. At least on Peel Street there is room to get prams in and out of the building

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

obvioulsy somone at the council has a disliking for parents with children and enjoys making them clamber upstairs with children and a pram unless of course nappy changing facilities are provided on the upstairs cafe's tables on route to the toilets.

how dare somebody with kids expect to have groundfloor access to toilets with changing facilities in a town center :rolleyes:

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

The baby changing facilites are downstairs in the market hall. I've not been in but I'm sure the door says Disabled & Baby Changing so guessing it's a shared toilet.

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

I must admit I was very confused when I got the mail and feel a bit guilty now. I didn't realise he was the Town Centre Manager and was making all the decisions, I was blaming the councillors concerned.

You got the Mail?

That's Jaysays paper!

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

they weren't sign posted when i was looking for the baby changing, i ended up upstairs looking for them, it's awful up there with a pram

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

I still don't think any of them are sign posted.

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

all that glory and the silly plank forgets to signpost the loo's.....tut

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Inprovise SM, Buckets are cheap in the Market Hall:D:D

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Which one is that Dave:rolleyes:

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Thats what I like about you accyman your so quick on mate:D

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

No it isn't Less, I can't afford Papers, I have to read um on line:p

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

I used the toilets in the Market Hall on saturday and all but 1 of the toilet seats in the ladies were either on the floor or on the shelf behind the loo. All were very obviously broken which meant if you didn't want to sit on the actual porcelain bowl then you had to queue for the one toilet with a seat on. I did notice too that the seat that was still attached was the wrong size and shape for the bowl it was attached too!!!

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

there's so much going wrong in Hyndburn now it's unreal, that Britcliffe is doing a right good job aint he

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Fully agree .

Looks like you backed the wrong horse, all those years taking time off work canvassing for the wrong party, instead of working towards a decent retirement.
Still, they do say we get our rewards in Heaven, (may I suggest you get there before P.B. otherwise he'll have you spending your time trying to convince God he shouldn't be a stoker?).

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

i suppose on the upside you at least get a warm seat :rolleyes:

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

I'm actually sure that come May things will change overnight when the Caped Crusader sweeps in from Rishton, all the toilets will be open 24/7 all bowls will have seats on them, it will be the land of milk and honey;)

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Never had one minute of work Less until I was struck down by illness, so was never able to save for retirement. I work 7 days a week 14 hours a day, I didn't pack my job in because it was interfering with political work, as one chap once put it, in fact I only really got involved in politics when I moved back to Ossy in 86 and that was at the request of Ken Hargreaves, althoiugh I've always been a tory and a party member until last April:)

What a shame, all that loyalty gone to waste, I believe you with the above, you have always been a loyal party member and good friend to PB.
Even though he and the party haven't been to see you in How long?
They could at least drop off a couple of old newspapers now and then, hang on though, what is the value of scrap paper?
Best keep it for themselves!

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

With respect I can't imagine a highly positioned employee would be telling lies

Therefore I suggest as an ordinary resident of Hyndburn you must be the one telling porkies ;):p

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

You could always apply for funding to erect a statue, sited over the doorway to Scaitcliffe House.

Oh, don't forget to say you'll also need money for a funnel, and enough hosepipe to stretch from your shops.

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Ya we've noticed;)

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

No need for any thanks.

You're welcome.

;)

Not heart, I'm loyal, I may not have met you yet in person, but you are important to me on AccyWeb & if you are missing I like to hear where you're at.
I don't know if you've noticed, your friends on here are like that. (bitch).

Some even visit just to shorten your breath, (will Mick ever live down standing on your oxygen line).

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Here's a mathematical formula for you:

If:

a = cost of excess butties at council meetings

b = cost of flash mobbing

c = cost of Leaders medal

and

d = marginal cost of keeping open Peel Street Bogs

Then is a+b+c < or > d

Answers, please.

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

The answer is P

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Could I answer using the medium of dance?

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Wrong.

a x b x c = P

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

I soft shoe shuffled that answer.

So is this Neil:D

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

To a thick pleb like me I am sure there is not a full time job in looking after one set of toilets so why cant the same attendant look after 2 sets?

Leave both open and better serve the public.

I would like to hear the official reason why Peel street are not open at the same time as the market hall ones.

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Aaaaaaaaaaaaah what was that, just getting my breath back before micks next visit:D he may just bring you one of these days Less, Beni ventured and seems to have had no lasting effect on him:D:D Even so its nice to know I'm missed whenever I fail to clock-in:D

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

Everybody knows to have to show your workings to get to the answer Dave:D

Re: Hyndburn's New Tourist Attraction
 

On this occasion I will have to disagree with you being a thick pleb :D

There is no reason they can't be open. The toilets haven't had attendants for months now, they are based in the Market Hall. The shutters are opened early in the morning by the porters from the market, the attendants don't start work until 9.30am. The toilets are checked at the most twice a day which hardly takes any time. Even when the attendants were based at Peel St there were days they weren't checked if the attendant on duty that day was off sick.

The decision has been made purely to increase the footfall in the market. Serving the public is not an option for elected councillors these days. :mad:
