IT occurred to me while sat contemplating Bolton's name change and the closure of so many post offices in the town,
added to the fact that we have no cinema, no live music venues, no swimming baths, and the once beautiful site of the Swan Hotel now boarded up with metal shutters, that, hey, why don't we go for village status, I mean, we have the Parish Church still, and I think we do still have one post office, do we not. Bolton le Moors, the biggest village in the North. Yes, I'm sure we would qualify. Let's go for it!
