It is fakery.......and it does Accrington no favours.
What Accrington has needed for quite a long time now is someone with the power to take decisive action........no-one seems to have that power...or if they do then they are keeping it under their hat.

We should not be resorting to illusory devices....making shops look like they are trading(it does real traders a disservice). Traders should be given the ability to open a business with the same help that is afforded to the charity shops...because if someone doesn't do something very soon that is all there will be left.
