We had a run to Bury last week on market day.They have just opened a new shopping complex, The Roc and the Millgate centre is still open.BUT-the market and the indoor market were packed! M&S in the Roc-a large food hall, almost empty, not many walking round the Roc at all.
You may not NEED a market but how boring without one, what's left in the town centre? As gynn said, if Bury can PACK a huge market, why can't Accrington?
