We used to have a Works.......it was on roadway(Town Hall end) where the pound shop is....couldn't have done enough business or it would still be there.
I used it quite a bit, and I do miss it.

Yesterday 2 teenagers were riding bikes on broadway, a PCSO asked them not to and they basically just laughed and carried on.

That would not happen in Blackburns Mall because it is private company owned so the security will just chuck them out.

Just been down Accy to the bank and eye shop. There were several groups of late teenagers just hanging around with nothing better to do with themselves. Its groups like this that make the place look uninviting to older people. Being a young lad they dont worry me but they will put many people off coming into town.

When you make your way out from Broadway it gets worse, Abbey Street is not pleasant at all and would make a nice bus station if it was pulled down.

Why are the Council/Police allowing buses to speed past the Town Hall. It is 5mph and those horrible scruffy little red buses were not even slowing down after driving down Blackburn Road. It should be pedestrianised totally with no vehicles allowed at all.

Should have videod it, some people don't beleive this sort of thing happens in Accy :D

Re: New Accrington Bus Station
 

Are you suggesting I would lie about such a thing? :D:D:D

Our Council could learn a lot if they sat on Broadway for a couple of hours and just observed people.

I like people watching its my sort of sport.

Did the hot weather make it easier to spot any?

There's a word for people like you.

Twitcher, I think it is.

Though if you have your hands in your pocket, I don't think that'll stand up in court.

Glad to see Kens already got the knack of ducking and diving and passing the parcel to other that know about the situation but seem very reluctant to air their views

No John, it's my own special method of dealing with things I don't know enough about.

Unless you'd prefer a local politician to simply spout a load of claptrap just to see his own words in print?

No one who did that would garner much respect....

Here Here!!!!! someone with some sense... These idiots that come up with these stupid ideas need to get there butts down on Peel Street and listen( not talk) but listen to the passengers!!! 90 percent of bus users in Accy are pensioners so if you move it away Accy's will be a ghost town !!! simple If the council and goverment carry on dictating to local business there will be no buses at all eg = 90 percent of passengers travel free = 50% less taking =running at a loss get it people!!! Its not the firms fault they drop routes. The goverment expect them to forfit the loss...There are firms out there now that are refusing now cards and as a result the goverment are taking them to court...Theres gonna be a lot more to come!!:eek:
