I LIVE in Portsmouth and returned to Bolton last weekend to visit my relatives, and stayed with my mother, who lives near Thicketford Road.
I was absolutely disgusted by the state of the area. It looks like a slum area. Do the council not employ road sweepers any more?
People in Bolton actually pay more council tax than we do in the South, so what do the council spend it on? Certainly not keeping the streets clean.
I grew up in that area, and it certainly never looked like that when I was a kid. I'm just glad I'm not paying Bolton Council my council tax.
