I think the main problem with Accrington, as a shopping destination, comes down to poor policy decisions, and bad planning.

Arsing about with what was a very successful market, has had a bad knock-on effect for other town centre shops, now the market is a pityful shadow of what it once was.

That, plus the decision to allow the building of more retail spaces than a town our size can support, and which has resulted in umpteen former retail business properties left as empty shells.
