THE Green Party in Bolton fully supports the campaign to save the Market Hall.

Many of the traders and their families have been trading in this building for many years.

Local people, selling - in the main - locally produced and manufactured goods, are far more beneficial to the economy of Bolton than national and multi-national outlets whose priority is making massive profits.

We therefore call on Bolton Council to reject the plans to turn this popular facility into a shopping centre, when we have more than enough already.

We wish the campaign every success.
