Empty deckchairs at Darwen Day
Business owners claim they were not asked to be involved with a recent event celebrating their town, and feel insulted at the lack of communication between organisers and town centre traders.
Darwen Day, which was held on Saturday, was the first major event to be staged in the town since the start of the pandemic, but several businesses within the hospitality sector say they were overlooked, with the event s organisation being handed over to a company that has no permanent presence in Darwen. The revival of the once popular Darwen Day, which was abandoned several years ago, was this year organised by Let’s Make, Crafty Vintage, Darwen Town Council and Blackburn with Darwen Council, however, Suzanne Halliwell, who runs Dolly s Tearoom, and Gary Perkins, who runs six businesses in Darwen town centre, said they were not asked to be involved in the event, and only found out about the festival at the end of June.
