I mean, if you go to Manchester to the theatre are you ever able to park right next to the theatre itself, or Blackburn for that matter? There is tons of parking available at Ossy Mills which theatre goers can use and walk up (probably about the same distance as from the Arndale car park in Manchester to the Royal Exchange) or the car park behind the shops on Union Rd, very close by - or for a while the car park at Rhyddings School was open for use but no one used it (choosing instead to park in front of residential homes).

Was gonna' say something like this myself Gayle, was wondering about the school for instance. Don't know why it is different somehow .. just is. Why though ? Do you think perhaps because it is more elderly people attend events locally ? Suppose some sort of Park n Ride scheme would be out of the question.

I never noticed that the school was available at one time ... perhaps not directed there very well ?

Well the circular bus stops right outside, couldn't get much closer!

That is true also and the 'Spot On' ones appear to give a decent regular service now. Perhaps when advertising events, this could be noted somewhere.

Anyone who wants to find out more about the findings of the consultation and the future plans can come to the Area Council meeting on Wednesday 12th March, 7pm at Rhyddings School.

Anyone who disagree's with Residents Parking, clearly does not live anywhere near the Town Hall. Its a nightmare! Try coming home in the evening, when there is something on at the Town Hall with various items (ie: shopping & a Harry, plus trying to get his pram out of the car aswell!) and you can't park anywhere near your house. And i'm not being picky here I don't mean we have to park further down the street. I mean we have to park streets away. I live on Milton Street (directly across from the Town Hall) and sometimes we've had to park down the bottom of Mill Hill (nr Spring Terrace) or down Albert Street.

Will this funding include parking Gayle? (menaing will it be considered when allocating funds?)

I agree with Gayle about the parking and walking a little way. The current car park could be used just for disabled drivers.

I hope the lady giving the Civic Theatre presentation will make it on time to this meeting, instead of me having to inform her about the bits she missed last time

I did ask you the same question on the though. I am not a stirrer (in this case) I was just having a little laugh with you. I know you like to make an entrance by being fashionably late to the Area Council Meetings.

While your stood up you might as well do my bit

I was late last time, ooops and the time before, because I honestly thought it started at 7.30pm. I have been told, quite clearly by a number of people (who obviously don't want me to be late) that it definitely starts at 7pm, so I will try my hardest to remember that. Perhaps someone could ring me 15mins before!

I've also been told, more than once, that it's not at the Civic Theatre but at Rhyddings School - which is quite ironic as we'll be discussing the theatre!!!

How have I got a reputation for getting meeting details wrong?

No, I think I'll leave the park bit to you - I don't want to upset anyone.

Sorry I can't. I am supposed to be there at 6pm or 6.30pm for the before meeting meeting. I can never remember which so I usually just go a bit before 7pm. So I am always late as well

Gayle, for those of us who are unable to attend, will you post the details here so that we can all have a gander, please.

Madhatter · 02-03-2008, 11:01

Re car parking. You should be including details of car parking with the tickets and telling people where not to park to avoid irritating the theatres neighbours. Not everyone will take notice but a lot do.
To many people expect to be able to park outside of places these days, think they've got a phobia about walking.
Jaysay please get a spell checker. download firefox, it underlines misspelled words in red. You are missing letters out, I presume because you're typing fast.

IMHO you are better not attending when they hold it at Rhyddings School. The Civic Theatre is a much larger venue. Come to think of it seeing as one of the main topics will be the theatre it is a shame we wont be in it as we usually are.

I think there is a show on or something. Rhyddings school is used when the theatre is unavailable.
