What does that stand for cashy Can't Catch the vagabonds

HBC paid an arm and a leg to put CCTV in the town centre. If someone ran down Broadway on a Friday afternoon painting slogans on shutters, they will have featured on at least 6 cameras at the police station.

We await the dawn raid on a house in Accrington.

I think the cameras were attached to the benches.

Maybe now something has happened to the Town Hall the council may actually wake up and smell the coffee that the town centre really is as bad as we keep telling them

Don't tell me nobody saw this taking place Spotted it whilst travelling through this afternoon but assumed it was done whilst the town centre was quiet(not that it gets overly busy at the best of times). A disgrace if it was done this afternoon and the perpertrator wasn't arrested whilst in the act

was down there today and to be frank if your going to try and get a point accross make it readable.All i could make out between the two sets of paintings was hyndburn death cover up and cambodia.

you see what happens when your council dips their toes in international matters , everyone wants help

I am pleased to confirm the idiot was arrested at the top of Broadway, after someone who isn`t me rang the police and stayed onto 999 whilst the police turned up.

I believe they have given a full statement and the offender is now in Greenbank Police Station Custody Suite!

Result - the town (Accrington) is bad enough without this being allowed in daylight.

Thats good news, amazed the police turned up..................The same Day. Understandable though when the courts normally give Community Service or summat!

They can send them to me, my walls need decorating, I'd make them sick of the sight of paint!
