The Market Hall has just been awarded Great Market 2011 and the people are the most friendly people you could wish to meet. I just wish people would stop knocking the town, this negativity does not help anyone.

There is a difference between negativity and seeing things as they really are.
As for the Market Hall...can you see where all the money was spent, because I can't.......it is a travesty. It no longer has the stalls, the custom or the vibrancy of bygone days.
How on earth the Market hall won the award is beyond me...especially when you look at Markets like Bury(the finest around).
Yes, there are pleasant places around Accrington, but the town centre is just as Stuart Maconie portrayed it.
