[Margaret Pilkington]

It is all so contrived and stinks of desperation...and when you look at the town centre you can see why.

I have lived in and around Accrington for all of my life......and I was once proud of the place, but it is down at heel and scruffy now.
These tactics are just those of an ageing lady, putting on lipstick in the hope of snaring a young buck, and hoping he doesn't notice the wrinkles.
