AFTER just walking home from work, I cannot believe the amount of beggars in Bolton town centre. Not buskers trying to earn a bit of a living, but people just sitting on their idle backsides scrounging.

What kind of world do we live in in today? I, like many others, am a single parent who works hard to find some means of a living. So why can't this lazy minority do something about this? Or surely Bolton Council should act to get these people off the streets?

To make matters worse -- one had the cheek to say -- "Got any cash, spare change or NOTES"!

So come on, Bolton, sort this one out.
