MR Mike Taylor, town centre urban design officer, would like to know what Bolton people think is unique about our town (Bolton Evening News) June 7.

Well one of the truly unique things about Bolton is our magnificent Victorian Market Hall.

Nearly a third of the population of Bolton voted against the planned development of the Market Hall. The council ignored this wave of protest and passed the application to turn it into yet another cloned shopping mall.

I fear that the £40,000 survey planned is yet another waste of our Council Tax if our views continue to be ignored in this way.
