Wrighty, you've seen it happen over the last 20+ years-that means you've adjusted to the gradual deterioration and don't really
realise the disaster that has hit Accrington!
Coming back for the first time after 30 to 40 years as I did-I was totally stunned and so sad to see what had happened to that vibrant little town of the 50's!
Of course it's not just Accrington, it's happened to the whole area, all the towns around it.But Accrington was
my town and seeing the others didn't have the same effect.
You're right, a twelfth of the Portas money won't change anything, it needs a Government which cares what happens north of Birmingham and we haven't had one for years and I doubt we'll ever get one.
