Fifth from the bottom! Doesn't it make you want to weep.

Did anyone see the report in the Telegraph this week concerning plans for a business park on the site of Huncoat Power Station? Apparently the company behind it say that it will provide 400-500 new jobs. All of them in warehousing and distribution. All of them Low Skill and paying National Minimum wages. This not because Accrington is uniquely attractive to such businesses, but because sites in more preferable locations are now full!
