Club site redevelopment knocked back - News - Accrington Observer
recommended by the "Officers of the Council" for acceptance, turned down by the butchers, bakers, and candlestick makers of the "Planning Committee" note the comments of some committee members
I would think that the developers will now appeal, if they do then the houses will get built, because HBC will not contest the appeal.
I used to go in this club as a child (not as bad as it sounds lol it was quite a number of years ago and I was with my parents) Also used to go to the kiddies christmas parties etc (there and at the pickups arms which is no longer there) It wasnt a bad club in its day, its just another in a long line of clubs and pubs to dissapear. They should do it up and re-open it not turn it into yet more houses
The trouble was that they were getting about 5 people in per night. They had no choice but to close as they couldn't afford to stay open and do it up.
I think that the proposed houses up Stanhill are going to be 3 storey, the ones on the Rists site are only 2 storey.
There are some 3 storey houses on the estate at Church traffic lights, they're not Barratts but they are 3 storey so they will probably look similar to those.
So why don't the council buy it and build a nice playground on it for the kids or open it as a youth club for all the kids in springhill so they don't have to trapse to New era. We often moan about kids hanging round but there is sod all for them to do in the area. Make the club a youth club with pool tables, jukebox, big screen TV with MTV etc showing. a tuck shop for stuff to eat and drink so there IS somewhere for them to go of an evening.
Good idea, they could even have a football pitch on the old bowling green...................if only HBC or LCC would buy it (why not make it a compulsery purchase as they have done with all the houses, mind they have not done anything yet other than pull them down)
they probably wont, cuz half the kids in springhill are trouble makers who only get joy from other peoples misery
i say open as a pub again and give it someone who can run it properly, it was good years ago as a function room
My mum still lives in Springhill and lets be honest most people who live there aren't 'well off'. They can get 4 cans for the price of a pint in a pub so why would they go to it. No matter how 'good' a landlord is he is only ever as good as teh disposable income in his catchment area.
The kids are "trouble makers" because they are bored. I'm the last to advocate sending them on holiday when they do stuff wrong but unless you meet them half way you will never make a forward step. When I grew up there we played footy on the field. thats now a school, we played tennis against Lang Bridges, you'd get told off now, we made rope swings down the clough, H&S would be there fencing the area off as a hazard. We made karts and rode them as fast as we could down charter st/exchange street, youd' get run over now by all the nutters
"You can only bang your head against a wall so many times before you realise its hurting you more than its hurting the wall"
Give them something to do and you have a chance to channel that energy into something useful/less distructive
