Re: Up to 70million investment for Accrington Town centre.

Re: Up to 70million investment for Accrington Town centre.

Re: Up to 70million investment for Accrington Town centre.

It can be used like you said Less or a hand either side of your head and pulling your tongue out….both are considered to be ‘long Bacon’ where I come from.

Re: Up to 70million investment for Accrington Town centre.

Cashy, I looked them up…I researched, I read a lot of stuff….and what I learned did not instil me with confidence in the abilities of those advising the government.

Re: Up to 70million investment for Accrington Town centre.

Re: Up to 70million investment for Accrington Town centre.

Yes Cashy, they might have done well in the pubs….but that doesn’t translate to business in the shops, the market, the market hall…..these are dying too.
