I think you'll find that the people that have commented so far have nothing against 'Sense' or any of the other many charities that have taken advantage of our town centre. It is the fact that what once used to be a thriving little town centre that supported a diverse amount of shops popular both with locals and visitors from surrounding towns has had it's heart ripped out and is only a shadow of the bustling local community that it used to be.
This isn't the charities fault, they are taking advantage of empty shops and the rebates that being a charity offer because of the mismanagement that has occurred in Accrington over the years.
