Perhaps everyone's gone on holiday -do they still have traditional Accrington holidays, as of old?

Am i right in remembering it was in July?

Re: Accrington's new bus station "to be"
 

It's the norm. Saturday has become our quietest day of the week. The bus station is often devoid of buses any day of the week. Just been and looked now 8.45am, there is one bus on a stand, ...... rush hour :)

How much effect has the maundy village had on the demise of the town centre Dave, it seems that the bigger it grows the quieter the town centre becomes:confused:

Re: Accrington's new bus station "to be"
 

Not anymore, Wakes week was a tradition started when the mill towns in the area had 100% employment.
Now that 95% of Accrington are on the dole or other forms of benefit, nobody can take a holiday.

Re: Accrington's new bus station "to be"
 

Is that the same 95% who don't give a toss about Europe Less:rolleyes:

Re: Accrington's new bus station "to be"
 

There are no problems in the town centre caused by Maundy Village soon to be City, they are a figment of peoples imaginations :D:D:D

Re: Accrington's new bus station "to be"
 

I have a random percentage generator Add-on attached to my browser (to ensure statistical accuracy) it's seems to be stuck on 95% and 95% of me just can't be bothered to fix it.

Re: Accrington's new bus station "to be"
 

Um feel sorry for the other 5% Less:D

Re: Accrington's new bus station "to be"
 

:confused::confused:Is there planning permission for more premises in the offing Dave:D

Re: Accrington's new bus station "to be"
 

Just been in Leigh town centre - it's a similar sort of place to Accy, similar size and socio-economic make up, sandwiched between two bigger towns (Wigan & Bolton), although the architecture's not as nice (no magnificent Victorian market hall or arcade etc).

The big difference is that on an average Monday morning it's far, far busier than Accy is on a Saturday afternoon. In fact, every town I go to, large or small, is busier than Accy now. I wonder why? :confused:
