Re: would you like to see more community focussed events in accrington
Dave, you are right in what you say, as a shopping centre Accrington is pretty poor, it has been eclipsed by other local towns. They have been able to attract prestigious big names into their centres.
But places like BHS(The Arcadia Group have had a 40% fall in business - are talking of shutting 250 shops) Comet, Currys and Debenhams are all having to fight for their cut of the trade. Money is tight and there is only so much to go around.
I don't see anything much changing soon.
Accrington is dying on its uppers.
