Whats changed?

[Audrey1976]

I am moving back to Accy in the next couple of months and I want to know whats changed about Accy. Is for the better or NOT? (I've been away for 13 years) Also can anyone recommend Primary Schools - I went to St Johns and then Springhill but gathered that been knocked down!

Wardleworths disappeared and then Accy turned into a sesspit of chavs, charity shops, pound shops and needless flower pots.


Basically it

 

[panther]

springhill school is still going

as shakermaker says ...yep full of pound shops and chavs,........oh and they took away the arndale clock.........>>>>>>*shock*

 

[shakermaker]

Stanley got worth watching! Buy a season ticket and a shirt and 10 pints... it's worth it

 

[Stanleymad]

Tho accy has a league footy team Stanley is back

 

[harwood red]

The night life isn't as good as 13 years ago either, primary schools? Depends which area you're moving too.

How long did you keep the job in the Tourist Office ?

 

[shakermaker]

Computer said nooooooooo

 

[Audrey1976]

Am not getting good vibes here - anything good happened / happening. Or is it all doom and gloom???

 

[MargaretR]

The natives up here are still friendly (despite everything)

 

[lindsay ormerod]

To be honest Audrey ; it's a bit of a dump. Not many good shops left, far too many scroungers roaming the streets and far too many good pubs gone . If I had the opportunity I would move away, the only things that keep me here are my family and Lancashire League cricket.
( if you could re-locate all the chavs and low lifes it might not be so bad !)

 

[cmonstanley]

the more decent people we attract back to accy there be less room for the chav drug dealing scum....

 

[Bonnyboy]

Audrey, have you not visited Accy in the 13 years since you left?

 

[grego]

It cant all be doom and gloom after all we all still live here, I like the fact that in Accrington you're never far away from the countryside, 45 mins to Manchester for decent shopping, Burnley's a good night out, there are positives.

 

[MargaretR]

It is definately better than Blackburn

 

[Audrey1976]

I've driven through about five years ago. To be honest there are chavs everywhere. I live in Oxford and believe me there are alot of "chavs" here not to mention other undesirables. The one thing I miss is the hills and countryside. Its so flat here.

 

[MargaretR]

There's no gold in these 'ere hills - it's all in the hearts of folks that live here

 

[Bonnyboy]

I see you mentioned Springhill school, is Springhill an area you have your eye on or are you leaving your options open ?

 

[Audrey1976]

I used to live in Springhill - but fancy Avenue Parade way or Manchester Road. But still keeping my options open. Have been looking on rightmove to rent temporarily before I buy..............Having said that I do like Ossy as well - depends on my budget - things aren't what they used to be but nice to know the Northern warmth hasn't cooled. Its like living in Siberia here!
