This is why you need good quality stalls that offer what people want but also something different that burnleys market doesn't.
It used to be the best, and busiest local market around, alas no more.
Strange but Rawtenstall claim to have had the best market around, and also wasn't it the biggest?.

Sorry I can't make head nor tail of this post, it makes absolutely no sense to me.
By the way Rawtenstall market is, and always was much smaller than Accrington.
Unless you've visited the old Accrington market I don't see how you can possibly comment.
As for the demise of the market it is down to it being moved, whose planning was passed by HBC, although of course other factors are at work, such as people visiting supermarket's for a once a week shop.
The suggestion that the people of Accrington would benefit if it became the first Freetrade marketplace in the country is ludicrous.
I think a few more visits here would be wise before anymore comment, and you can concenterate on turning your little piece of the Midlands into the new Hay-on-Wye.
