Excellent video showing accrington

I think we can safely assume Graham Jones isn't a Tory MP and doesn't have much time for Tory councils- he does labour(get it?) the point a bit.
However, it is terrible what has been allowed to happen to Woodnook( and other areas?)- I remember it as a very attractive area.
Was this redevelopment plan started by the new council or by the old Tory one? It seems to have been going on for some time.

I don’t know the motives for Lancashire Channel posting this compilation of Accrington landmark buildings and yes I can ask “Where is the magnificent Haworth Art Gallery?” but I am appreciative of their efforts in accentuating the positive and reminding a wider audience of our towns industrial heritage and all.
Some people really do need to let the light shine in.

It doesn't do the town any favours to remind them of the heritage and show only the good points just to have them turn up and get accosted by beggars and thieves. Maybe before anybody opens the curtains to let the light shine in, the powers that be need to go round with the hoover and a duster
