Exactly. Most towns are suffering from the effects of the recession, the rise of internet shopping etc. However, I defy anyone to show me a centre as dead as Accrington's. I've said it till I'm blue in the face - go and look at Bury town centre - it's thriving and it's a 20 minute tram ride from the biggest shopping centre in the North of England!
