FROM the many complaints in this page, it seems that people in Blackburn think they have it bad when using the car to shop. It is far worse here in Burnley.

We have a vast space right in the centre of town next to the market and all the shops, but you cannot use it -- not even in the last few days before Christmas.

This is a purpose-built car park, too. The supermarket it belongs to closed down over 12 months ago.

The penny has finally dropped, though -- you can now park, for a high fee, on our glittering millennium car park.

We have found Accrington.
