They know when it is, but are keeping the information until July when they fear there will be a dearth of news and they want to have something to print.

Okay, but please keep an eye out for my 'friend'.

Re: The Accrington Observer
how can they say that Accy Market Hall is the best in the UK? is Bury not in the UK? or is it the best because no one in the UK other than Accy actually have a Market Hall?
what a loada bollox, something else made up by that Britcliffe thing?
oh and why are half the market stalls in Accy empty? i counted at least 5 empty stalls today....has he put the prices up on those too? and today being a Market Day, i expected there to at least be SOME market on

Just empty space, which used to be the location of market stalls.

At what point does the square footage of business units compared to square footage of retail units in a building change it's legal status from a Market Hall to an Office Block ?

Same on Tueday, as well as Fridays.
Once both bustling, thriving market days, until the market was 'improved'.
Heartbreaking, walking through now, past all the empty stalls.

Re: The Accrington Observer
Mr Pratt is a popular resident of Peel Ward. He votes the same way he says at every election. Very nice conscientious man who is in his late 80's.

They can scream 'delete' at you as much as they want, if its on this forum you can't delete it and HBC would need to go through the correct legal channels to get something removed.
It would be different if you asked for something you posted to be changed though. We have edited peoples posts at there own request before.

Do many people lie about who they vote for?
If they do, how is it possible to know, in a secret ballot?
Did you really vote for Karen Buckley, in the last General Election, despite what you lead us to believe?
She was very nice.
We'll forgive you.
