Fitness plans at old Accrington church

2:30pm Wednesday 25th July 2012 in News By Emma Cruces, Reporter

A MAJOR fitness firm is looking to transform an historic town centre church into a gym.

Premier Fitness has put in plans to transform the crumbling Cannon Street Baptist Church, Accringon into a major town centre fitness hub.

The landmark church, which is a listed building, has long been a problem for both Hyndburn Council and the owners Y&Y developments.

The owners have been ordered to tidy up the building, through court orders, because of the broken windows, missing metalwork and crumbling stonework of the church.

Hyndburn Council was insistent the building was an eyesore, both its frontage on Cannon Street, and at the rear of the building opposite Tesco and Accr-ington Train Station.

However, Y&Y Developments said the empty building was constantly being targeted by vandals while they looked for an interested party in transforming it into a practical use for the area.

The Grade II listed building, which dates back to 1874, has been empty since 2006.

Premier Fitness are said to have submitted the planning bid while having talks with Y&Y Developments on buying the property.
