This guy Mac is bang on right. I left the town in 1974 when it was something like two thirds down the economic prosperity league of the UK (out of 650); now it's ranked 40th from bottom in terms of weighted average for anticpated life expectancy, median incomes, house prices, etc. We are on on the same level of Blackburn, Burnley and Pendle and yet we have assets on a par with the likes of Hebden Bridge & Skipton (two of the finest places to live in the UK).

So where did it all go wrong?
