As opposed to believing the words of a politician who cuts and runs from this forum, (of which you are the self styled 'super' moderator), when proved incorrect or simply cannot answer questions from the voting public regarding the removal of benches...

And this is why I have no faith in amateur 'do-gooders' who propose cutting down trees or building moronic panopticons on the coppice..the kind of person who posts absolute garbage like this :-

People want to use Lidl, Tesco, Asda, Aldi, Iceland, etc and do all their shopping in one place and either put it in the car or get a taxi home. Online shopping is massive now and is as much to blame as supermarkets, maybe more so

Totally ignoring the fact that :-
a) we had a massive free, easy to navigate car park, that was replaced with the brick monstrosity called the arndale
b) we had a bustling undercover outdoor market with plenty of space for extra pitches, that was replaced by a few stalls in a wind tunnel offering uneven paving complete with deep puddles and dripping awnings, topped off with a red brick monstrosity glorified £1 shop
c) we had a market hall filled with character and characters replaced with an open plan abortion that Blackburn market tried 30 years ago and has since knocked down
d) we once had some benches that us old fogies could catch a breather on (of course that was nothing to do with your in the know mate was it..*sigh*)
e) we used to have buses that dropped us off at the actual market as opposed to the local McDonalds drive through and is probably geographically closer to 4 possibly all 5 of the supermarkets that you quote than it is to the actual market that you think should be totally destroyed!
Please stop volunteering to help Accrington....you really are crap at it!
