MAY I use this newspaper to appeal to the people of Horwich?

Please, if you have any interest in your town, attend the public meeting in the BRSA club on tonight at 7.30 pm. This will be your final chance to express your opinions, to those in authority, on the subject of the closure of the top of Winter Hey Lane.

Many words have been spoken and written about it in the past.

My own views are widely known. A pitiful waste of space has been created at some cost, both financial and in terms of genuine distress caused by re-routed traffic.

You may or may not agree but please come along and use your voice, let's see if those elected by the people, listen to the people
