I MUST add my support to the number of people against the proposed plans to refurbish and modernise the Market Hall, in the hope that perhaps Bolton Council will listen to what I am sure is the majority view of Bolton people.

It is a wonderful building, and a pleasant, friendly, shopping area, so please do not spoil it, as has happened to many other old buildings, especially the Bolton open market, Ashburner Street.

Please do not alter it into a soulless shopping mall, which can be intimidating, especially to older people, or Bolton will finish up as a "clonetown", not Bolton.
