You certainly can't make statements about the people of accrington as you would ahve to be here now and meeting with them on a regular basis to be able to have such an informed opinion.

To say the people of accringtn are in decline from hundreds of miles away is a little off IMHO
Come on Kipax it's you who's wearing the rose coloured spectacles now. In my opinion the people who have moved away have made a good decision, the trouble is the people who are moving in don't give a toss about Accrington. The area I live in was excellent when I bought my house 10 years ago but since then property developers have snapped up the vacant properties and moved in DSS cases, this combined with the rising Asian comunity and the people who now have lost interest have now made the Peel Ward of Accrington a joke.
