Looks like the reporters will be made redundant, yet another nail in Accy's coffin, this town is officially bust, I can't use the words I really want to put.
If anyone wants to lay the blame , much of it can be put down to ridiculous rents and business rates, total lack of advertising and the fact that walking on Broadway is akin to taking your life into your hands,drug dealers, alcoholics, shoplifters, wonky pavements, untreated ice, that's on a good day! Or if you are feeling really brave you could venture up onto Abbey St and feel threatened and intimidated in the environs of what can only be described as Maundyland. (it's like Disneyland except that the horrors are real and not something dreamt up by a Pirates of the Caribbean scriptwriter)
I have lived and worked in Accy all my life I have never been more disillusioned by what I see around me, I had a friend come up from London the other week and found myself apologising for the state of the town. It's a real shame and the council seem oblivious to the real issues.
Sad.
