I wanted to see what my old home town looked like now. So I went on Google and looked up all the old streets that I knew back then. I was appalled.Everywhere was a DUMP. What have you done to Accrington? Who are the vandals responsible? I thought that we had Slums back in the Thirties but now you have Slums all over the place. You all ought to be ashamed for allowing your town to be treated like this. Get your fingers out and get something done.

My daughter lives on Hyndburn St.
The St. was due to be given a face lift but the cash ran out.However most of the streets off Blackburn Road have been completed and look much better than before.
Some of us have carpets and cupboards now and I'm led to believe that gas and electricity is well on It's way.
There is even talk of television and a thing called video but we will have to wait and see.
