Re: Up to 70million investment for Accrington Town centre.
Yes Cashy, they might have done well in the pubs….but that doesn’t translate to business in the shops, the market, the market hall…..these are dying too.
And what happens in the ‘off season’….if no one uses the town centre facilities, then they go bust…..and all because a town council moved the bus station.
Yes I guess that is a very simplistic approach….and there are more issues involved than just the bus station.
Business rates, the lack of foresight and planning (by a lack lustre council) and of course changes in shopping habits.
All of these have had an impact……but this plan is cloud cuckoo stuff.
This money and the ideas to solve the problem will do diddley Squat….too little and far too late.
