Re: Accrington's new bus station "to be"
I'm presuming BwD are Blackburn with Darwen council. I understand they were involved in the white elephant bus route thing but why are they dictating where Accrington should have it's bus station and even more incredible how it should have it's road layouts, they can't even get their own right !!

Re: Accrington's new bus station "to be"
Even though consultation has taken place, and various bodies are involved, surely H.B.C. have the authority to halt the process, if they so wished?
I don't know why I'm getting so het up. H.B.C. are strongly in favour of having a new bus station, at any cost. Therefore it will happen. We know that when funding for it was dangled like a carrot on a stick, if they backed L.C.C.'s Pennine Reach scheme, which they did. I can't see any positive benefits to Accrington, if the bus station is relocated to Crawshaw St. 'Whilst having a deferential opinion on the wider Pennine Reach scheme, my continued interest lies in seeing a new bus station in Accrington.' Graham Jones MP: Pennine Reach: A scheme still alive and kicking despite media reports as to it's premature demise. Perhaps Graham could clearly set out just what the benefits to the town will be? So when it's all done and dusted, as it inevitably will be, at a later date we the public can evaluate if those that supported the fight for relocating the bus station were right.

Re: Accrington's new bus station "to be"
Personally I'd get rid of the pedestrianised broadway and put the bus station there (think it was like that way back when?). Can't get more central than that. Pedestrianised areas look nice but don't serve any purpose. It's not like we have thousands of pedestrians like the big towns that this planning approach mimics. Road crossing could be easily managed on a bus only street.
Turn the existing bus station into a loitering area/gregg's queue. Put some benches there and the big town sculpture that many people seem to want. Problem solved. My fee for this idea is 10%  . |

As been mentioned before we heard a lot of the comments outside when it was in the news before and they weren't for wanting it moved. I think there's only Katex supports it, she obviously has some power
