Burnley has some wonderful attractions for the would be visitor.

Car parking: In short supplly because they sold the car park spaces off, one of those left is most likely due to be closed down because some idiot of a counciller wants to use its space for a job centre (we have a perfectly good one of those already).

For those that you can find, they are charged at exhorbitant rates unlike other local town centres wher your get some free parking.
Still you can park out of the town centre & then you only have to pay for a new side window & radio - still its cheaper.

Shopping centres:
The least said the better, big name stores prefer to give Burnley centre a miss, out of town you have the usual supermarkets that you have in any town, a market charter of over 100 years ago prevents car boot sales.

EntertainmentWe have the "Mechanics" which has a theater in, some pubs of dubious quality, McDonalds, a run down sports centre due for closure.
Oh, there's a brand new skate park for the kids to skateboard in.
Unfortunately the morons who planned it, built it directly under a copse of trees and now its dangerous due to the number of wet leaves on the ground & when there are no leaves falling they shade it from the sun & prevent the ground drying. Of course we also have many tennis courts that can remain completely unused while the afore mentioned skate park gets crammed full.

Street entertainment: We can now walk around the streets kicking blue glass recycling boxes around as they litter the streets because someone forgot to tell the residents to take them indoors (either that or they are too thick to).
Any that I see being unused/unwanted will be liberated & recycled

Its a wonderful place... come & visit us often... lol.
