I disagree about starting realistically, you have to be bold in order to attract consumers - just being like all the other towns won't cut it anymore. The physical size of Accrington means that it can't compete with Blackburn and Burnley so instead of attempting to it should try to be something different.

I do have a business head on Katie but I think you have your rose coloured specs on for the good old days. Why should Accrington town centre be a shopping centre - just because it always has been. That's failed so now it's time to be a bit radical and try something different.
