I don't think I have ever come across any concrete suggestions, either on Accyweb or elsewhere. And as for it costing nothing, how do you make that out?
Sadly Susie throwing snowballs at the moon is very easy from Morecambe, it just doesn't matter if you hit or miss really, the council can use their powers to ban undesirables from the town centre, and they could have a quiet word in Saint Dorothy's ear about the problems that are being caused by the influx of addicts etc. coming for hand outs. There was a letter in the LT last week praising Dorothy to the high heavens she was even called Saint Dorothy by the writer, but when the efforts to do good are ripping the heart out of the town centre, its time to say enough is enough

Charities are not always what they claim to be.
I am sadly disillusioned by many of them.
Saville hid behind them. Even Mother teresa is getting bad press

...and, would you believe, Peter Mandelson is the chief of NSPCC.

It is time for 'charities' to examined sceptically.

To post what I really think would get me barred for very bad language, but your full of it and it keeps pouring from your gob every time you open it, your a total clueless irk who's a complete waste of space, glad your back where you most certainly belong

To be an asset they have to be saleable...or rentable...that means they must be in good condition.
Property that is bringing in no revenue is not what property companies want to see on their books. Empty properties also have to have business rates paid on them....so being empty is a double whammy.

Has Mandleson done anything dodgy then Margaret, or is it just because of his political antics :confused:

In view of his past financial shinnanicking, I would let him near any of my money. He was sacked twice for shady dealing.

Accrington would quickly become a global laughing stock.
It is fakery.......and it does Accrington no favours.
What Accrington has needed for quite a long time now is someone with the power to take decisive action........no-one seems to have that power...or if they do then they are keeping it under their hat.

We should not be resorting to illusory devices....making shops look like they are trading(it does real traders a disservice). Traders should be given the ability to open a business with the same help that is afforded to the charity shops...because if someone doesn't do something very soon that is all there will be left.
