Always look on the bright side.....
..when the revolution comes, there won't be a smashing up job done on Accy centre because there aint anything worth looting on sale :D

Re: Town Centre Changes
 

I have heard a whisper about Wetherspoons today also..................:rolleyes:

Re: Town Centre Changes
 

I was in the Arndale late this pm, and noticed the Ethel Austin shop had reopened....shame there are several empty shops still.

I also noticed, during last Saturday's heavy rain, that the roof still leaks around 25 years after it was first built. Thought they could have fixed it by now.

Re: Town Centre Changes
 

Weatherspoons is one of the rumours that's going around concerning the Regency. But it does seem that almost every time a sizeable building comes empty in the town centre, the question of whether Weatherspoons would be moving in comes up.

It would be good though to get a Weatherspoons in Accrington. And in the past the Council as tried to get weathersspoons to think about Accrington, but without success.

Re: Town Centre Changes
 

i hear many whispers 90% are usually utter crap.

Re: Town Centre Changes
 

Well the relevant councillors have asked them to remove the metal sheets. Lets see who wins, the ratepayer or big business :rolleyes:

Hopes that landmark Accrington pub will reopen (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Was Ken (Irish chap), the landlord then Cashy or did he come a bit later? I only started drinking in 1974 & i think he was there then!

Town Centre Changes
 

I heard today that the loo's on Peel Street are to close

Re: Town Centre Changes
 

I've heard that.

Cost cutting, as there are toilets in the Market Hall.

Not much use as you wait for a bus, on a dark and wet winter's night.

Re: Town Centre Changes
 

ya can always pop into the Regency Bar:rolleyes:

Re: Town Centre Changes
 

Not if you've signed the Pledge, you can't.

;)

Re: Town Centre Changes
 

From the 1st of February they will be closed on Mondays & Wednesdays. I have heard this is a preulde to permanent closure. What a great advert for the town, even the busiest loos are being closed. :mad:

Despite the loos in the Market Hall, the Peel st ones are used by most of the Market traders, and of course those of us inj the shiops on Peel St ( the shops don't have loos ). Pathetic, and probably time to look elsewhere for our business if the people responsible for running Accrington don't want any shops in it :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Re: Town Centre Changes
 

They currently close at 5pm anyway. Fail to see how there is any cost cutting, they aren't manned most of the time now

Re: Town Centre Changes
 

Probably nothing to do with cost cutting.

That's probably just an excuse.

More likely it's a ploy, to get a higher footfall in the Market Hall.

You should start a dirty protest.

A smear campaign, so to speak.

Re: Town Centre Changes
 

We already figured that one out. Of course as long as the Market Hall footfall is okay bollox to anybody else :(
