haven't seen it yet due to being exiled in another country - from what I've read here it doesn't sound very functional but does it look good? it has to look better than the old one. Any pics online anywhere?

Yeagh try the hyndburn homepage

http://www.hyndburnbc.gov.uk/Your_Co...eveloped_2.htm

Takes an age to load even on broadband. the webmaster has to be as thick as two short planks..

Plenty of info but of course they own it so there gonna make it look and sound good

oh dear. It doesn't look good at all from those photo's. 8m for that?  I'm trying to work out the size, I assume in the first photo that the regency pub is in the background and they didn't knock the old market hall down so that means the new market is very small. Very small indeed and it cost 8m?

Old market hall is still there.. but building (still) new bits where the outdoor market was.. they have rebuilt the new outdoor market.. to sort of be on the sides of the old building...

the whole layout is bloody silly IMHO

The market is back in the same spot as it was in 1950
says a lot for modernisation.
Which is why the the bus station is such a mess.
im suprised no one has been killed on it yet busses all over the place with little room for them to move ??? ???

It is a complete waste of money. Why have they halved the size of the bus station? I agree it is completely dangerous. Does anyone on the council have any brains?

I Agree with you there the fish market should be by itself away from general goods and its always wet and slippy there too.
at least we can walk away those tradeing there must be sick of it.

Hi Mick,

I've still to see the new market, but what's the point?  I won't be going there very often, will I?

The fish market really does smell so bad it should be shut down. If the products they sold where quality then it would not smell nearly as bad. I would never buy any fish products from them, ever.
