Whats it got to do with the Council, they only gave the originall planning permission for the Arndale. Their only involvement now is to collect rates from the owners and occupiers.

Ya she could arrange for it to be shipped to Scotland and sited outside Ibrox, be a sign of better times

This thread has been trying to get the clock back since July 2008, and as I see it, no further along the road to getting it back.

So perhaps that says it all really. I like the clock, until the mechanism opens and that band sprung out.

What difference will it make meeting in the Civic Theatre, just more hot air. This has been going on for some years now.
The only persons who can decide are the owners of the Arndale, they are the ones to talk to, and the answer will be MONEY, the income from the Arndale has dropped considerably with shop closures etc. gassin on here or up in Ossy will achieve sod all.

If it is decided to re-install the clock can you assure everyone that there will not be any costs at all to be borne by the council?
Don't forget any approvals that may be needed and possible local HS involvement

[cashman]

Why would the owner have to seek any approval through the council?

If all the shops are closing there will be no shoppers there so who will see it?

So very very true Gordon

It never was worth looking at more than once.
People who think folk will travel into Accy to see it are deluded.

[cashman]

Doubt very much if many think people will travel into accy to see it, but am pretty sure quite a few who are down town would watch it. those wi kids in particular. not that it matters a great deal if through no fault of yer own yeh can't go out much anyway.

If only this clock had a young boy to feel all enthusiastic about it......
