I haven't said anything about knowing better than anyone or tried to be arrogant about anything and I don't see why someone has to be as old as the sun to see what is right in front of them.
A few short years ago on this very forum there was a discussion about how Broadway was stuck in the 70s and the town centre needed investment. It has had plenty of investment in the short time I have been on the Council but whatever is done people seem to have a jolly good whinge about it.
The intrinsic value of a town centre to me is not how shiny it is but what shops there are and I don't see how any Council can be held responsible for shopping habits and private enterprise.
Town centres are changing, they have always changed and I remember full well people talking thirty years ago about how Preston, thriving as it during the 1980s, was a mere shadow of it's former self. Those same people are now talking about how good things were thirty years ago.
Accrington is clearly no different but you must know better because I'm just a wet-behind-the-ears immigrant.
