I WAS disgusted to read in the BEN that a planning decision had been split along party lines; the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats voting against and Labour voting for approval.
Surely planning decisions should be reached with a local knowledge and not by political diktats. No candidate had in their election leaflets that planning would now be political. Elected representatives of Bolton, living in Bolton, should make planning decisions for the benefit of our town.
