SIR: Has anyone from the highways department looked at the state of the roads in Bolton and district over the last few years? They are a disgrace, to the town - sunken grids, pot holes and channels across the roads.

There should be a sign at the entrance to Bolton stating that driving on our roads could seriously damage your car. Come on Bolton, get something done about it. Other towns don't have the problems that we have.
