I'm merely stating one of the reasons people don't feel comfortable shopping in the town centre. If I'm wrong then the benches would still be outside the Market Hall would they not ? After all they moved them because of the problems with drunks |
in fairness that does make more sense, i wasn't having a personal dig at you but the way it was worded implied that was what you meant. i agree that the presence of that element is offputting to some residents ie. elderly and vulnerable people and is an issue that needs to be addressed properly. but it should not stop us from striving to bring traditional shopping back to our town, we the people of accrington should be taking back the ownership of our town and make it something to be proud of
