Until they build the new mosque and open one of the side streets up again because of the increased traffic

Funny they couldn't open it to save fire brigade going all way round in emergencies

I don't know why there digging Blackburn Rd up again, it's not that long ago of course that it was relayed. I would hope it's not something that could have been done then.

I honestly don't think the answer is to move some of the bus stops onto Hyndburn Rd. The solution in my view is to deal with the traffic problems on Blackburn Rd.

I for one would love to see buses on Hyndburn Rd, (and actual bus stop's not those sticky out in the middle of the road traffic calming things as on B'Burn Rd), from where I live, (bottom of Monk Street), it takes me almost as long to walk to catch a bus as it does to walk down to the town centre, how on earth the pensioners around here get on I've no idea.

can i ask why ya dont feel re-routing some buses on Hyndburn Rd is the answer Bernard? loads of pensioners live bottom end of those streets as Less mentioned, its a long way to Blackburn Rd Bus stops, if yer bad on yer pins.

that system would help alleviate more than 1 problem in my view.

I don't know why Blackburn road is being dug up again - but it might be worth contacting the County Councillor for that area -Mohammed Younis, his details are on the LCC website -
http://www3.lancashire.gov.uk/counci...lorDetails.asp
This gives his mobile number and LCC email address - if anyone wants his home number, please send me a private message.

Surely as representative for Church, thats your job and report to the questioner and the rest of the people you represent?

Only if it is on the part of Blackburn Road that is within Church Ward. Highways are not the responsibility of Hyndburn Council, it is a LCC responsibility.
That is why I suggested contacting the County Councillor for Accrington West - the full length of Blackburn Road from the centre of Accrington to the railway bridge near Blythes is part of the area he represents.

Maybe Cashy, there is an argument for siting some bus stops on Hyndburn Rd. And if it's better for people who live down the bottom of those streets off Blackburn Rd, than it's something the Council ought to look at.

The argument I was making previously was that it shouldn't been done just because of all the illegal parking on Blackburn Rd.

So we're back to the question about what to do about illegal parking..........Just a suggestion but why not prosecute the beggars instead of turning a blind eye?

Bernard Dawson · 22-09-2009, 09:04

I agree with what you say. Illegal parking is illegal parking, wherever it might occur.
