WELL, what a surprise! The plans to "revamp the Market Hall have been given the go-ahead.

Cllr David Wilkinson says it's in the interests of the future of Bolton.

Yeah, right! This would be the same Bolton with empty shops on Newport Street?

The Bolton with no central leisure facilities or a cinema?

The Bolton where finding a parking space free of traffic wardens is on a par with the search for the Holy Grail?

This whole shenanigan reeks. Who are these members on this committee who can sign away the businesses and futures of those who work in the Market Hall?

Who are these people to decide what is best for the people of Bolton?

This whole episode has nothing to do with what is best for Bolton, otherwise 80,000 signatures would have made a difference to the outcome.
