Maybe this clock could be put in the ne market hall. It might attract a few more people in. The great leader of the council could organise it and then add another brass plaque to his collection.

Good idea.

It might halt plans for a more lasting memorial to himself, commemorating all the good work he's done for the town.

The Arndale Clock

Forgot to mention, was talking to a member of the council, in the market hall on Wednesday. When asked my views, one of my comments was that the clock could possibly be found a home there. The answer was "its being looked into" - hmmmm! We will see eh.

Nah - she is more like the 'brummie Marlene' characterised by Beryl Reid

We Hyndburn Folk should raise money to the Arndale Centre so they can afford to put the clock back.

I never got to see this thing in action but from all accounts it was certainly interesting, even if it wasn't to all tastes. I must admit I'm throughly intrigued by the thought of seeing it working again.

It would certainly be less irritating than being hassled about double glazing, Sky television or being guilt-tripped by a hard-sell charity every time I walk through the Arndale Centre.

Maybe they should spend some money on replacing the split floor covering in the lifts before someone trips, suffers injury(?) and claims against them. The application of adhesive tape to cover the cracks is not really an answer

I think it had developed some technical faults but why it was removed and not repaired I don't know.

They opened that cafe under were the clock used to be as well. I thought the clock was an attraction, and it would be nice to see it reinstated.
