WHERE is this stash of money that obviously Bolton Council has hidden away? Surely changing Bolton's name will cost an extortionate amount of money?

Think of the cost of changing all the council vehicle liveries, all council stationery, council uniforms and the street signage to read "Bolton-le-Moors" -- this from a council that could not keep a swimming pool open.

Maybe this money could be better spent cleaning up the town centre, ridding it of all the fly-posters that seem to be appearing every day, aiding local businesses to re-open shops on Newport Street.

This is the type of thing that makes outsiders think Bolton is dull and grimy!

So, Cllr Harkin, open your eyes and look around, most of it is the council's own doing, and please enlighten us, where's your stash of cash?
