Re: Tesco Accrington
It wasnt nice. I hope the next mayor is chosen because of who he or she is not just because they keep PB in power, but he has to live after all

It is now widely understood that a deal was struck between Cllr Pritchard and Cllr Britcliffe that he could be Mayor so long as he supported Conservative decisions in full council meetings. How much this has succeeded is debatable as Malcolm Pritchard does not seem to be a man to come to heel very lightly and he has chaired council meetings in a pretty even-handed way over the past year. Technically, this year it is Labour's turn but it all depends on the outcome of the local elections in May. I am on a committee at the moment that is currently looking to stop the Mayor being used as a political pawn because all respect for the position has evaporated. The fact that Cllr Britcliffe's name and not Mayor Pritchard's has appeared on so many brass plaques at opening ceremonies around the borough is testament to the ego of the man at the head of the council. The Ossy Civic Theatre is due for another re-opening this week, watch whose name is on it. |

I swear I am in no way connected to the political partys, but I hear some of what goes on and get really angry.

The latest rumour is that Sainsbury's have put a bid in for it. But time will tell.

I think if they can afford a £1.5 (at least) million quid bung to H.B.C. to ensure their plans were passed, I'm sure they'll cope with a few relatively poor month's trading figures.

Re: Tesco Accrington
Tesco live off the profit margins of 2000's they need to realise there plan is no longer sustainable and people are getting sick of Tesco towns.

Re: Tesco Accrington
I have to give tesco credit for a nice building, it does look good and helps tidy up that part of town. Shopping there is a nice experience because its not really crowded, but there profit can't be great. I still prefer shopping "locally" tho, in the town center.
