LET us hope tomorrow’s switch-on of Bolton’s Christmas lights works its magic.

With the town centre currently looking a bit battered and bruised and people criticising the Market Place, some positivity needs to be injected into Bolton.

Perhaps the Christmas lights switch-on, which will attract thousands of people, will inspire a much-needed revival. I hope so because the people of Bolton and the companies that have put their faith in the town centre deserve some festive good fortune.

Let there be lights!
