So, your thing at the moment is models,
why, if there is a demand for such a shop have the two model shops that used to be in Accrington closed down?

Surely if someone thought it lucrative to open a model shop there are plenty of empty shops they could move into without forcing other businessess out of town?

There is a shop opposite the Broadway Hotel that sells RC models if you have a wish to poke your nose against the glass an drool.

Somehow I suspect window shopping is all you would be able to do.

They have a shop in Rawtenstall and Todmorden, they make all the curtains up in the old Riley Street Club at Lineholme Todmorden.
Micheal, the owner, told me a few weeks ago he was closing the Accrington shop down because the landlord was getting too greedy and wanted more rent.

Thats probably about 70% of the answer to the town centre problems. What will they do when it lies empty for months, rent it out to a charity for a very low or free rent.:mad:

They'll probably just demolish all the empty shops, and extend the Tesco car park.
