Re: Arndale another one bites the dust.

'The council say the high figure of empty shops is a reflection of the recession and urged local people to support their town centre.'

Call to support Accrington shops as closure figure hits an all-time high (From Lancashire Telegraph)

People might feel more welcome if our councillors stop doing things like removing the soddin' benches, from outside of the Market Hall.

Admittedly there is an issue with with drunks, and druggies in our town.

Address that problem.

Don't punish everyone, by removing facilities used by everyone.

Yes, I know I harp on about this, but it's just one small example of the type of idiotic thinking, by those in control, which is helping to kill this once vibrant town.

Another was allowing a town centre superstore.

Who because our councillors passed the planning permission for this, were bunged a million pounds plus.

Which means for a few short years the flowers towers will look pretty...as the tumbleweed rolls past the ever increasing empty shops.

For those local politicans who think moving the bus station will improve things, dream on.

It'll be somewhere nice for people to wait, as they queue to shop elsewhere.
