   The plans to expand the Accrington Arndale centre using 15 million pounds is good but not good enough when you see your next door neigbour which is Blackburn spending a whooping 96 million pounds on its shopping centre. If you look at the picture in our town we use to have Greenwoods, Max spielman, but what happened they closed and redirected us to Blackburn town centre. The sane with stores such as currys, next, topshop etc.

The council is supposed to do something by charging less rent atleast then we the public will see a change to the empty buildings in our dieing town centre.
