WHEN I opened the Bolton Evening News on March 4, I could have wept.

It is about time we Boltonians realised that although we vote these councillors in to office and get 80,000 signatures on a petition ultimately these councillors ignore what we Boltonians say or do.

They will do what they themselves want.

My friend, who lives in America, looks forward to coming home and having a walk in our Market Hall.

She is saddened by what has been decided. I only hope that the stallholders appeal and have this decision overturned.

Take it to the European Court of Appeal - 80,000 people in Bolton and around will back them!
