I really cannot see how telling the truth about a place can be seen as talking the place down.
If they all said it was 'milk and honey' think of the disappointment it would create for those who thought that Accrington could provide a half decent shopping experience.
the new bus station is going to be a marvellous addition to trade(but it will be trade elsewhere...not in the market,the Arndale or on Broadway).... it will take folk out of town to places that do provide a half decent shopping experience
