IF Tuesday's Letters with regard to renaming Bolton are anything to go by, Cllr Harkin's ego must be severely dented.
Give the guy a break, folks. He is free to express his views!
Mind you, his suggestion won't be "free" to those of us that pay council tax. Your council tax will have to fund - the employment of a team of sign writers to re-paint all of the council's vans, refuse lorries, gritting trucks, Town Hall doors, multi-storey car parks signs and numerous road signs around the borough with the BLMMBC logo; the replacement of council letter-headed paper, envelopes, invoices, contract documents, circulars, wheelie bin stickers, and the rewriting of numerous software pages on the Bolton Metro website to align with the new corporate logo.
Makes very good sense to me - Cllr Harkin is obviously trying his level best to keep people employed, doing something useful...and off the streets!
