How about being sensible for a change??? Instead of building (or trying to) a bus lane why not get double yellows on all major bus routes?? Believe it or not there are lots of us who do use buses. It ain't rocket science on how to get traffic moving IMHO.

A better use of money, and which would certainly speed traffic congestion, would be to have a traffic warden permenantly on duty on a certain stretch of Blackburn Road.
Let's face it, Accrington town centre developed before the omnibuses appeared. Though the bus station worked perfectly well in the sixties and seventies, with much more buses used then, in Peel Street, before the powers that be decided to move half the market back to where it used to be.
Result, half of a much reduced a market that was, and half a bus station that was.
Planning courtesy of morons.
