Re: Sunday Trading

I've been in Accrington town centre today and I am still mightily impressed by it. It is well designed with lots of attractive old architecture into the bargain and not too empty shops plus free parking. It was also fairly busy considering the demographic....

If it really is only existing to cater for 35,000 residents then they are quite well served, in my opinion. I blew £80 this morning and I wasn't even there to go shopping! I was tempted in by what was there and I'm sure that if there were more of the big name outlets available I would have spent more money.

We should be proud of a town centre like that and support the shops that are there rather than talking it down with figures and statistics.
