DEMOCRACY. Forget it! Last week on the front page of the Bolton Evening News, I read Market Hall Go Ahead. The surprise really annoyed me, taking the track record of the planning committee.

I personally have always been on the side of the underdog but unfortunately the cliche "might is right" prevails.

The Market Hall is unique with its stalls and the variety of items on offer. I bet Agora will fill the Market Hall with expensive shops. Personally speaking, I think it is snobbery. Still everybody is rich these days arn't they?

I certainly share the sentiments of Mrs C A Wilson, Patrick Morgan, Helen Beaney and the majority. I also will boycott the New Market Hall as others should.
