SIR: The new Environment Agency has supported the people of Horwich, the councillors of Horwich and all the many environmental groups in their objection to the proposed Super-Tip. Yet Leader of Bolton Council, Cllr Bob Howarth still insists this does not change his views. I hope that when eventually the planning committee have to consider the application that they take into consideration the thousands of objections, a whole town in fact and do not follow their leader like sheep seeing pound signs only.
