The land would make a good bus station though(if the Arndale was knocked down).

Re: Arndale another one bites the dust.

Yes, and those who live here will use the new bus station to take their cash out of town to spend.
We use the buses, but again we fall into the old codger brigade.

Re: Arndale another one bites the dust.

Nor will they be able to afford the bus fare. It is over £2 from Accrington to Clayton......just a bit more and you could get a taxi right to your door.

Re: Arndale another one bites the dust.

I despair for Accrington! Are there any shops left besides lancsdave and the Maundy shops?
What well known names are still there in the centre? Surely M&S but who else?

I buy all clothing on line at M&S and the £3 delivery charge is half the price of the taxi there and back.
