British Towns And Cities

Prize is £10 which I want to give to specific charity if I win.
Have managed 21 of the 30 but really pathetically stuck. Help would be appreciated! x

1. A long way north value
2. Morbid spectator
3. Business agreement
4. Light consumer
5. Arrow crossing
6. Fast forest
7. George Bernard (there isn't a place called Shaw there?)
8. Instrument fortress
9. Inform former US president (...somewhere Bush?)

I'm usually able to work things out on my own but maybe my brain is failing!

9 Telford

Thanks scorpiojo. Thought of Far but now realise that like crossword clues the 'n' represents north

[scorpiojo]

Do you have letter counts for the answers?

[scorpiojo]

6 Fleetwood

[yogasun]

Gosh, so obvious Deal, Telford, Dartford. Thanks so much all

6. fleetwood

[yogasun]

No scorpiojo, just as I have shown

[Tilly2]

4 Exeter? (Ex eater, therefore lighter?)

[yogasun]

Blimey Tilly2 Yes and that's our nearest town, could well be it!
Thanks so much scorpiojo, Sir Oracle, Frognog and Tilly2 for your help. Hope I win as want to give extra money to local leukaemia charity (ELF) as a friend died 3 weeks ago at only 42

[Salty]

Taking a hint from Tilly2, perhaps Lampeter is better for number 4
