Arndale clock????

Now there's an interesting question, I presume as ratepayers we own it. so therefore it belongs to us. Now I haven't the room for it on my mantelpiece so I'm perfectly ok with you taking it.
 
As far as we know it is still in the depths of the Arndale centre awaiting repair. At least that was what they told us.
 
thanks for the replys.....
was just wondering what it was being used for now or some strange clock type collector had bought it....
 
they are actually supposed to be finding a new site for it, after the huw ~& cry that accyweb put up, but nothing since.
 
Back in the summer months there was a report in the Observer that we AccyWebbers had saved the clock but I think that report was a bit premature.

That clock was proper bo! A pox upon all involved in the removal, curse that damned cosmopolitan coffee shop with their creamy cappucino's and their mouth watering cakes...
 
Wez - you could try voicing your opinion about the clock to HBC. It might give them a nudge to get on with finding a new site for it, possibly, maybe...............
 
HBC hey? The enemy has a name now!

I'm on it.

nuff said.


.......erm, Who are HBC again?
 
What's wrong with where it was?

I mean, really, why move it in the first place if they're honestly going to re-erect it.

Many's the time that clock entertained me both as a child and an adult, I hate to think that I'll never see it run again.
 
Sell the useless object for scrap and donate the proceeds to the Tsunami disaster fund

The original excuse was that it needed mending as it wasn't working properly - but then they chose to put that infernal cafe there instead which I think was the plan all along. What a mockery it makes of the "Arndale Centre is now a smoke free zone" with clouds of it billowing out from the open cafe. How soon before it becomes illegal?
 
looking about the arndale is a joke as a shopping centre. its really only a covered entrance to the car park.

Of course it is. This is Accrington, what did you expect, the Trafford Centre?

no. the trafford centre has shops,decent surroundings, clean and tidy appearance. no i wouldnt expect that in accy.
 
I worked in a store in the Arndale for over 10 years;every time a unit closed I asked if we could try to get a big name in;the answer was always no because of the demographics;meaning the town isn't big enough or wealthy enough to support the likes of Next,River Island,Bhs etc.It's pretty obviously the case if you have a look around,Accrington folk are struggling to make ends meet let alone buy high street brands.Now why do we think Wilkinsons is a runaway success????
