SIR: Following the meek approval of Bolton Council to the closure of the two homes for the elderly in the area, I now agree with one of your correspondents some time ago who wrote that the elected councillors are a mere rubber stamping agency for decisions taken by paid officials.
I cannot vote for 'the tail that wags the dog', so in future I won't vote for the dog.
