[QUOTE=Gayle;439593]Sorry, can't take part in this one because I support the changes and I believe that the town centre will suffer.

In the town centre we should be concentrating on specialist shops - make Accrington the place to buy specialist meats, arts stuff, antiques, or any other type of stuff.

Can't agree with you on this one Gayle. Gotta' think in a business type of way (not arty farty), and today's punters.

Have said on other threads, shops like Next,Debenhams, and larger Boots, is what shoppers want these days, and the only way to ring fence our locals is to try and attract them to overspill into the market, and then maybe can bring on the specialist shops. If they get out at Whitebirk, we have no chance whatsoever.
