GIVEN that Ainsworth Street, Blackburn, is now designated to public transport and the town now has the Boulevard redesigned and restored to the purpose for which it was originally intended, why cannot we then encourage its use?
Why do we still need the bus stops on Penny Street?
On several occasions during the day, presumably due to timetables overlapping, buses are parked there two and, sometimes, three deep, causing chaos on a main arterial route across the town centre.
Public transport is used far less than in previous years when the Boulevard provided more than adequate facilities for the system to operate successfully. Yet few travellers now seem to use it.
