Re: Accy Observer
I think the news is local but it's the what's on section and the jobs section that are no longer local. I don't want to know about a pub in salford, I want to know about a local pub.
Local pub reviews/sandwich shop reviews Jobs available for local people What's on for local events |

Re: Accy Observer
I'm afraid this paper is now a pale shadow of its former self. Very Sad!

Re: Accy Observer
Will say this though .. in the accy observer its front page news about them listening to the complaints .. in the rossendale free press it only makes page 5!! Accy people must shout louder than rossendalians ..

Re: Accy Observer
in fairness i would say those who work the accy abserver local, know what locals require, n no doubt try get the message across, but while ya got "*******" in suits etc that pull the strings n pay the wages there aint much hope it will return to its former glory, the "*******" always know Best.

Re: Accy Observer
I too am very disappointed in the Accy Observer although I must say that on- line there's the Expats site and I've managed to find quite a lot of old friends. However, they don't update it enough.
The only things about Accy are who has 'departed' etc..... |
