Then those People should pay fer it Re-Assembling.:rolleyes: along with the owners of arndale,who obviously agreed to it.

Re: The Arndale Clock
 

I would think if the clock is to make a reappearance it would have to be Arndale themselves who have to finance it.

I don't know what the chance's are, but it would be a nice gesture from them if they were to reinstate the clock.

Re: The Arndale Clock
 

might be a suggestion all the shops in the arndale put a donation in a pot to put towards it. The clock would attract shoppers to the arndale ..can remember people used to stand and watch it ....

Re: The Arndale Clock
 

We have a Town Centre Regeneration Board which might well be the place to raise the issue of the clock.

As you rightly said Jen, the clock certainly was an attraction in the Arndale Centre.

Have mentioned this before Bernard ... Urbed like querky things like this.

Re: The Arndale Clock
 

is there no obscure grant or summat hyndburn could get?:confused:

Re: The Arndale Clock
 

I think it was the quirkiness that attracted people. I seem to remember people use to wait for the clock to strike the hour. I suppose anything that brings more people into the town centre has to be welcomed

Re: The Arndale Clock
 

always used to be quite a few waiting fer it to strike, probably learnt a few numpties to tell the time also.:D

Re: The Arndale Clock
 

Seriously ? Does it meet every 50 years ? :rolleyes:

Re: The Arndale Clock
 

Yes but the Cafe did not last long did it

Re: The Arndale Clock
 

It's suppose to meet quite regular. I'm not a member of it, there's only a couple of Councillors on it.

I would have thought as someone who as business in the town centre, you could be member of Town Centre Regeneration Board. That's assuming you'd want to be that is.

Re: The Arndale Clock
 

The next meeting of the Chamber of Trade (town centre shops) is on 24th Nov. I'm sure they'll have discussed it in the past.

The only people who can make the decision are the Arndale Management - and they've told me that at the present moment they can't afford to put it back. Perhaps if all the retail units were full then it might be a different story but they're not.

I do have the contact details for the Arndale Management so if anyone wants to ask them how much money would need raising, pm me and I'll give you their details.

Re: The Arndale Clock
 

Agree the Arndale management "Are" the only ones who can make that decision, but as they decided probably through greed to let someone remove it, if they had any decency they would put it back.:rolleyes:

Re: The Arndale Clock
 

I think the cafe went bust so they won't be able to put it back.
