RE Cllr Harkin's suggestion regarding the name of Bolton, and his complete disregard of history.

I have lived in Bolton-le-Moors for 94 years, and have referred to it as Bolton, Lancashire, with pride, ignoring the instruction to call it Bolton, Greater Manchester.

The council would be employed better in planning careful spending of our money than in destroying our past.

I would forbear to mention what has been destroyed and what substituted in recent years.
