Not sure if it's been mentioned, as it makes depressing reading to check through this thread, but there's a closing down sale sign in the shoe shop opposite Marks and Spencers.

The lovely gift/fancy goods shop on Church Street near the Regency has also recently closed.

Today's trip to Accy today was like walking round a ghost town.

Very few shoppers, and a dwindling number of shops.

A situation I see only worsening when the new Tesco opens.

Some of this situation is down to the global financial crisis, and some of it is down to some lunatic planning desicions by the local powers that be.

Will the last person to leave Accrington town centre please turn out the lights.
