HAVE the proponents of this ridiculous idea looked into how much it would cost local businesses to incorporate this change from Bolton to Bolton-le-Moors?
They would be required to change their letterheads, signs, vehicles, advertising. Not to mention how much it would cost the taxpayers who would foot the bill for street signs, motorway signs, public notices etc. Would there be any gains from this change?
Does Cllr Harkin really believe that business would relocate to Bolton-le-Moors because of a simple name change? Perhaps he is that simple and he should change HIS name, perhaps to Guy de Bothelton. If he would like Bolton to revert to the Middle Ages, he could then join that other friend of the taxpayer, the Sheriff of Nottingham! Leave it alone Harkin!
