PLEASE can Bolton councillors explain their actions in refusing planning permission for a hotel on the grounds of "concern about traffic".
What hypocrites -- a 60-bed hotel is nothing compared to The Reebok/The Middlebrook/Tesco Extra.
Just think how much safer the roads would be if none of the above had been built! As for Cllr John Noble's comments "surely there is a better site than this" -- get real. If there had been a better site, the Punch company would have applied for planning permission there, wouldn't they, instead of wasting their time with the planning committee?
