TO avoid congestion in certain streets, mainly in the town centre, a plan for unilateral parking in Bolton was submitted to the Minister of Transport. This scheme has now been confirmed (with some modifications). Signs are to be erected to illustrate on which side of the road parking is permissible between the hours of 8am and 8pm, with certain exceptions. Parking is to be prohibited in certain roads and streets, except on certain sides on specified dates. Victoria Square is not affected.
