January 6, 20242 yr first time in the town centre for about 3 years over Christmas when we went to the panto, not great is it. was like a ghost town at what would usually be peak time with people shopping etc

Aldo Raine said: Probably another vape shop Whoever made the decision to allow Elephant & Castle to have outside seating wants shooting As far as I recall, there’s still a local bylaw preventing on-street drinking in the town centre. Same applies around the Reebok. Perhaps there’s provision in the bylaw which allows for our cafe culture. 🤣

January 6, 20242 yr Obviously, if it’s still a bylaw, the council would need to cancel for each event on Victoria Square.

With plastic glasses only. Sometimes. It's the same up the road at Three Crowns, except they actually have a beer garden at the back. And down the road at Hogarths and Churchgates is it called ?

The council claimed to be owed £4m and as things stood, they were getting fuck all and it would have ended up going through the courts, where NCP's deeper pockets may have meant they'd win. This way the council get £2.8m. Hardly ideal, but a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

January 11, 20242 yr New housing all round town now. Down Chorley street past back of Lads club. Bark street - Walking towards town - Load of new ones, built right upto the road - Front door on pavement pretty much, but balconies on the back. The new ones facing Market. These new ones in the link. All will no doubt be snatched up by landlords & some Council and will be full of new families to the area.... Edited January 11, 20242 yr by Pablo

Especially if the area is done properly with suitable shops/eateries. And maybe guards at the gates to keep out the "jungle" types from begging. 😁

January 15, 20242 yr Not town centre but as good a place as any as it’s new houses and might be of interest to anyone that played there, but, despite the original planning being rejected by Bolton Council , works have now started on Wyresdale Football club and the club house has been demolished, there’ll soon be 94 houses on the pitches there .
