How many empty shops are there in Accy town center?

How many charity shops?

Retail all over the country is struggling with profits down last month, but why on earth did the council see fit to build more [still empty] retail units when there are so many empty properties already?
As icing on the cake, the council are trying to make market stall holders/shop tennants pay business rates council tax which was previously included in their rent.

If you didn't have to, you certainly wouldn't travel to Acrington for a days shopping experience, even the market is as interesting as a day's forraging up Whinney Hill tip.
