Gayle is quite right on this. This shop has an absolutely garish neon sign more in keeping with a gun store in Osceola, Arkansas rather than Oswaldtwistle near Accrington. But worse still are it's contents - they are simply manually loaded air pistols & rifles - cat & rat killers,and nowt else. (No shotguns, gas cartridge guns - certainly no conventional rifles & handguns).
It is the only shop with such a type of sign & it is totally out of keeping with the other outlets on Union Road. I am at a loss how the council has allowed this. Irrespective of whether this is a conservation area or not, I am quite certain that planning permission is neccessary to erect such a structure. It should be removed immeadiatly.
