Well, yes actually I do think it has changed for the better sweet, darling Cashman ... will ask a question with a question ... which time warp would you wish Accrington to be stuck in ? ... have to move on with modern trends to compete with other towns and the demands of the rising generations, don't you think ?

Loved the piccies from Willow of the sunken gardens because of my memories, however, if you think back, was very little shopping in the area of the now Arndale, was wholly the Market and the Market Hall, plus a few surrounding shops, that would not invite anyone now ... I had to travel to Man. to get a decent dress in them days.

Whether the council are implementing plans of great quality is a matter of the individual's taste, but at least, I feel a good effort is in force for the space available. Had to incorporate a car park too,because of the ongoing wealth/laziness of our society but at least they don't charge.

As for the Coppice, I love the trees .. a much more pleasant walk; and as for the direct route up to the top, could be extremely difficult, soggy and slippy with a few strips of concrete here and there, which disguised themselves as steps.

I would like to see a few more high street shops on the top end of Broadway instead of the Poundsaver shops and I think, in time, this could happen if a good case is put forward. Also, a regular night of late night shopping could help and give the town a buzz as workers can meet workers during these hours. Some sort of entertainment would be lovely too on this night on Broadway to jolly people along.

Course you entitled to your opinion .. I respect that, however, just a wild statement is of no use .. that's why Pumpkin said what she said.

Hope we still friends ... enjoy your hols xxxxx
