I READ with dismay, your report (August 4) of what is to be a 'well enforced ruthless purge' of motorists parking in Bolton, along with comments from Cllr Harkin and Council Highways Chief Golland.

Do they accept this could sound the death knell for many struggling town centre businesses?

Are they prepared to divulge the initial capital costs and ongoing weekly costs of this project?

Will motorists ever see any benefits or will they spend any surplus on more fiascos like the Moss Bank Way cycle lanes?
