This monstrosity just doesn't fit in
Victoria Chase, Bailiff Bridge.
I HAVE had the misfortune to walk past the new bus station in the last few weeks.
Surely the best way to build a new bus station is to build a single-storey stone building with plenty of windows in? This way it would fit in with all the other stonework on the buildings in Brighouse and would last 50 years or so.
Instead the new bus station being built is garish, far too tall, a monstrosity that doesn't fit in at all.
It probably will become an even bigger eyesore in the not too distant future and thus the structure will need replacing in 15 to 20 years or so.
There also looks to be lots of needless alteration in road area, kerbing etc. Once again the council is wasting more of our money. Toilets appear to have been an afterthought which is clearly not good.
The new structure would not look out of place on Blackpool Pleasure Beach, among the big dippers. Are other people like me, wondering whether the Blackpool donkeys have had a say in the design and development of the new Brighouse bus station?
