READ in the BEN, that owing to a shortfall in revenue, the Council was considering a reduction of the Bolton cleaning staff to meet their financial commitment.

In the new £1m Victoria Square this week, I was horrified to see the amount of chewing gum and other litter on this new square, so I would hope the Council will explain how, and by what means they intend to safeguard this £1m investment?
