Do people not shop in Accrington because the bus station is pants?
There are not many towns with free parking, do you think that helps?

1. Not convinced it would make any difference.
2. As somebody who doesn't use buses it's hard for me to answer. I can't for the life in me think that if I did use buses, the state of the bus station would put me off shopping anywhere unless it was some sort of no go area.
3. I think free parking does help, however I also think if a town is worth coming to shop in then even a small charge wouldn't put them off.
Wonder if we get more people by train because we have a shiny new station building ?
The town centre is general needs brightening up including the bus station. Unfortunatley the biggest blight on the town centre is the people that occupy it. I would rather see money spent re-locatiing the biggest blight and more policing to uphold an alchohol, drug and beggar ban
