[Margaret Pilkington]

They have got on the bus to Bury where the market is a draw for shoppers.
They get on the bus to Manchester where the variety and cosmopolitan feel of the city draws in people from all over the place...and yes, I do know that Accrington cannot compete with Manchester.......but we could be a whole lot better than we currently are. It saddens me that people who could make a difference go around not recognising the negatives...... berates us who do see the downsides and cannot talk the town up because we see it as dishonest
