SHOULD we rename this town "Holey Bolton", because, no matter where you go these days, there are countless holes being dug up.

Radcliffe Road, Folds Road, Manchester Road, Churchgate, Bradshawgate, Deansgate, Mealhouse Lane, Hotel Street etc. Trouble is, jobs that should only take a week or so are taking months, and, if car parks' charges aren't a deterrent to shop here, then the craters in town certainly are.

Is this disruption necessary, or is it a case of jobs for the boys?
