Suggest anyone about to reply to this thread looks up "demographics" in a good dictionary, if you do it will negate the need for pointless " Why can't we have a Next/River Island ? " type discussion......

In plain English Accrington is too "poor" a town to justify brand names like Next etc, we don't have the amount of salaried folk living in the area to make these stores worthwhile, this has been the status quo for at least 15 years and isn't likely to improve any time soon and the more big names that pull out make it less likely for big names to invest, sorry but that's the reality.
