Rivington Pike

Apparantly it's going to be lit up red, in fact it may have already be red. Can anyone see it?

Is there something in the water tonight or what.....?

Things are getting very odd, even by our standards.

If AD pops up in a bit and starts talking about his love of flower arranging and Whittam actually admits she's wrong about something for once, I'll know it's serious.......

Why is it being lit up with red lights?

To put Chorley on the Map...

A historic landmark overlooking Chorley is being lit up for the start of a new campaign.

As the sun begins to set each evening, Rivington Pike will turn red to put Chorley on the map.

It will be lit from 5pm to 9pm today and will be done during the evening rush hour on weekdays for two weeks.

Coun Alistair Bradley, council leader, said: “One of our main priorities is to bring new jobs and investment to Chorley to create more opportunities for people here, whether it’s to get employment or move up the career ladder.

“Here in Chorley we know what the borough has got to offer, but business people looking to invest across the country don’t really know where we are and what we’ve got here.

“The first stage of the campaign is to put Chorley on the map and by lighting our most prominent landmark, which is visible for miles around, it will show people exactly where we are and get people talking about what we are doing.”

Today also sees the launch of a new website, choosechorley.co.uk, and a new grants package for businesses looking to move to Chorley.

Coun Bradley said: “We do have some of the biggest names in the industry already here and that’s because we have a really good offer - we’ve got brilliant transport links, we’re a city gateway for Manchester and more importantly we want people to invest here.

“The lighting of the Pike is just the start of the campaign and, although I’m sure many residents will enjoy looking at it lit up at night, the most important part will be the work we do in working with businesses to encourage them to move here.”

Lighting it up red?.....I imagine it's going to attract a different type of customer than they had originally hoped for.

Not sure how lighting it up red is going to attract business (In a serious way!) though to Chorley and put them on the map.

I think they need a different strategy as in advertising more instead of trying to use a gimmick perhaps.

I have heard it is already a barking area?  (is it barking or something else?)

Dogging?

Or am I missing the point?

Those two cataclysmic events could be the onset of the 'end of days'.

You should have been told before anyone else about the red lights with you being Preston business woman of the year and with you working in the escort business!

Why's it shouting about greenhouse gases?

Has it gone (even more) mental?

Frosty Knickers has just had a new fridge delivered.

They are doing this to put Chorley on the map?

Why?

I mean, Rivington Pike is not even in chorley is it?

Plus Chorley is already on the map. Everybody has heard of Chorley cakes.
