As I replied in another thread, but which ha remained unanswered, how is Accrington worse than anywhere else in the country?

Plus points about our area:

Relatively affordable housing, compared with the rest of the country.

Great, friendly people.

Fantastic countryside on our doorstep.

An adequate supply of good social housing.

A range of schools, from good to middling.

A well used and lively internet forum.

Affordable and good quality food stuff at the local market.


I've lived all over the UK, and found everywhere has it's problems. Be it the poor employment rates in Cornwall. Lack of affordable housing for young people in many parts of the country, particularly in the south-east, but also in any area where people move into and force out the locals. Drugs in rural areas are as rife as in the larger towns and cities. Also those same places don't usually have the youth clubs, drama societies, swimming and sports centres, libraries, parks etc, that we have in Hyndburn.
