in my opinion we didnt need the arnale center all it seem to have done is reduce shoppers in accrington

before it was built the car park was full to the brim with shoppers cars and also where the tax office now is used to also be full of shoppers cars

it seems to me the lack of parking spaces deters people from shopping in accrington and now go to blackburn

if anyone remembers the carpark before the arndale was built it clearly had paking capable of holding twice as much as the arndale now does

all that happened was that shops moved into the arndale and left shops empty on broadway and union street or turned them into charity or pound shops

we had enough premisis for buisnesses without the arndale all we have now out side of the arndale are cheap shops , pound shops , charity shops and ex catologue shops
