REGARDING the closure of the cash office in Blackrod. May I clarify a recent article regarding the closure of cash offices within the Bolton borough, including Blackrod.
Blackrod Town Council did not fully support the closure of the office at Blackrod, and expressed concern as to how the proposals would affect the people of Blackrod, a great number of whom were elderly, and requested that Blackrod be treated as an exceptional case.
While an assurance was given that the concerns of the Town Council would be taken back to the executive member when the closures were further discussed, unfortunately it was still resolved to withdraw the cash payment facility at Blackrod.
Mrs C Pearson Town Clerk Blackrod Town Council
