AS you walk round the market town there is a sense of tiredness of a lack of change amongst voters, the Manchester Evening News visited Eccles to speak to voters ahead of the upcoming general election.
The general consensus of voters shared a lack of trust towards the current government - growing frustrated with the lack of improvement to the area.
Alan, 70, said: "There's so many changes we need it's hard to point out. We need more people to tell the truth in government, I think a lot of people these days are despondent to it all," he continued.
The vast number of changes needed was a common theme amongst voters, Dave, 71, added: "I want to see more investment in the north. We seem to be getting left behind everybody else."
Richard, 55, continued: "Put the money back into society. People don't want much, they just want a decent civilised standard of life. We are not asking for too much." And as you walk round the market town, the vast number of closed shops became a strong worry amongst voters.
