I HOPE your readers share my opinon that Bolton Council's Unitary Development Plan, which will establish land use policies for the next 10 years, should put emphasis on developing commercial and residential developments in and around the town centre.

I visit Bolton regularly, and it upsets me whan I see buildings or land that were previously well used, either run-down, boarded-up, or knocked-down and used as another car park.

Bolton's town centre should have a mix of homes, businesses and amenities.

I feel that the alternative to this is decline.
