SIR: I refer to the closing of Bridge Street toilets. Is Cllr Jack Foster serious when he says there are enough facilities in the town centre, and that we can use pubs and restaurants?

It's very kind of him to offer other people's facilities, isn't it?

This has to be the most stupid penny-pinching decision ever. How dare the council take away amenities from the people of Bolton.

Is this the way to entice people into the town centre? I think not. However, may I conclude by offering my solution to the problem. I would like to point out to the entire population of Bolton and surrounding areas that Bolton Town Hall has excellent toilet facilities. I'm sure we will all be made most welcome to use them.
