if hyndburn hasnt applied for a share of this pot then why not because empty shops have been a problem for years infact if we must have fake shop fronts let this pot pay for them not HBC money

so the problem isnt that councils arnt applying its that government have a pot of cash set aside for renovation of shops but wont actually give any of it away

maybe now its been highlighted on the bbc they may be under pressure to get rid of some and a 3rd application sent ?

As Ken says, an application was made. See post 1 of this thread for the video, narrated by his own dulcet tones.

No, the councils have the money, they just aren't spending any of it.

to be fair central government cant be blamed for the towns demise its all at the hands of HBC who shot the town through its heart when they built whitebirk industrial estate,teh arndale and then slaughtered off small traders with high rates/rents.Not to mention the new farce of an outdoor market.

i hasten to add most of the dammage was done under the last lot but one thing that does need addressing is teh maundy grange issue because even if this new bus stop does bring people to accy they wont be coming twice if they get harrassed for spare change and spare ciggies
