Save the pavilion next to the historic market building in Accrington. 

The council have plans to demolish the pavilion and replace It with 60 car parking spaces which is criminal, the pavilion compliments the historic building and much more could be done with the pavilion if the council started to think out of the box. 

We need to support the external market traders Bramwells, Greg’s etc, these local people have been trading on this market for many many years, lots of local people use these stalls, we must also protect the jobs that these market traders bring to the area. 

Also the outside market is regularly used for flea market traders selling used and new products, this brings masses of footfall into the Accrington which is great for the town, we can not afford for this to be ruined by HBC plans, with so many people having doubt on the current plans if it’s going to work and be successful. 

The pavilion would also be perfect for alfresco dining style cafes and bistros additional to the traders operating in the outside area, this would create many jobs in the area and compliment the amazing nightlife that is coming back into Accrington 

Hyndburn council needs to listen to its residents and start implementing ideas from them, instead of making all the wrong decisions in this amazing little town 

Accrington town centre has loads of free parking and a massive car park in the town centre, it certainly is not lacking parking, nearly every road in Accrington is available to shoppers to park on, with various time restrictions 

We must fight to keep the pavilion, it’s a beautiful addition to such a beautiful historic market hall. 

Thank you for reading the petition and thanks again for signing.
