I would imagine so, presumably you pay business rates, same as a householder paying council tax, you are entitled to some facilities! Not sure who has jurisdiction over the town centre, best to ask our esteemed leader, or maybe even the Mayor?

Yep as an Accrington resident and trader we pay twice for our illustrious council
You can't tell off my photos but they were definatley used before shutters. Didn't notice if they were worse today than when they went up
I went off the Manchester on Tuesday and noticed that Shoezone in the Arndale is also closing for a refit(allegedly).
I'll see if it looks any different in the morning but I suspect the mess you saw is the mess they put up
I looked and that graffiti wasn't there when they boarded up, also some now that looks to be inside the building on the top floor.
Will probable be old graffiti if it reads Kilroy was here
Make sure it doesn't backfire and make Hyndburn the embarrassmentWell between us this morning we have hatched a plan to cause National embarrasment to Hyndburn Council if the decision isn't reversed. Watch this space
Make sure it doesn't backfire and make Hyndburn the embarrassment
The council are causing the embarrasment
Probably not one single councillor but it will have been a decision made by the controlling group at some point. I'm not sure who would be the councillor to ask but Cllrs Dobson and Clarke are on the Accrington Town Centre Regeneration Board and Cllr Marlene Haworth is portfolio holder for Resources:
Councillors - View by name
I've sent a request to find out where and when the decision was taken but there is nothing to stop any member of the public from doing the same.
Shoezone on Broadway
Yes I know, Lancs dave, but I was just saying that the one in the Arndale had exactly the same signs up........so it seemed just a bit 'fishy' to me......closing down for a refit.....Closing down for good?
I didn't realise they still had one in the Arndale.
Accroding to the manageress of the Broadway one I spoke to yesterday, they are closing next Saturday for 6 days, re-opening the following Saturday. We shall see
Thanks Ken. I believe it's being taken up by a representative of the traders, we will see what happens. I understand it's a decision made by Cllr Haworth. What she hopes to achieve by it I have no idea

Perhaps after her success with the Market Hall, she's planning to limit the amount of days residents can pee.
