They are also squandering our money, whilst the idea of 'Floral Market Towns' sounds attractive. The money that is being spent on that could have been spent on something much more useful - I know floral displays are very attractive but the borough is in a state of decay. I can liken PB to Nerohe is fiddling whilst Hyndburn burns.
The main shopping area of Accrington is still littered with pound shops, where is there a shop to buy decent shoes or stylish clothes for anyone over 30, the market is now an apology, compared to what it was. The plans to renovate the Market Hall are probably too late, people no longer think of coming to visit Accrington for its Market like they once did.
We do have some good shops in Warner Street and maybe the focus of the town centre should be there.

In the words of Oliver Cromwell, when he dismissed the Long Parliament -I quote to Peter Britcliffe
"You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go"
