To be fair Bernadette, these are pretty exceptional times. We've seen some major players go into administration in the past 12 months and attracting names to Accrington is not going to be helped with people such as Cllr Britcliffe who this week was once again spouting in the Council chamber about what we don't have rather than what we can do.
No one has ever said that town centre regeneration is easy but we really do need to accentuate the positives if we are to get anywhere. There is plenty still going for Accrington and I've got lots of things I needed without going further afield.
