Oh yes, there are also a few indian restaurants on union road! What kind of image is that to give the folks of Oswaldtwistle. I have to admit, I daren't tell the in laws that I used to live in a town with indian restaurants in it.
Lets think, what other perfectly legal things can we pick on?
The people are just trying to make an honest buck in a dieing town, whats wrong with advertising your products with a huge sign if its allowed? I notice the theatre does this, that gives a bad impression to all the lovely people buying guns, I don't think they should have to see the evil of amateur dramatics when all they want to do is buy an air rifle and shoot some cats.

That's rubbish. I've nothing against people from making an honest living. It just seems incongrous that such a large illuminated sign should be sticking out into the main road, yet directly across from this shops aren't allowed to have shutters on their windows to protect them from vandals because it'as a conversation area.
As anyone actually been into the shop? I have, and most of their trade comes from selling tools. I would have the same objections to the sign if it said tools for sale.
As for Oswaldtwistle being a dieing town in your words, you'll be pleased to hear that house prices are still rising. It's not dieing, it's just becoming a satellite town for people to live here, but work else where throughout the northwest.
