SIR I refer to the recent BEN headline: Bolton Council is to have a major rethink about car parking in Bolton town centre. These are the same people who had a major rethink about the open market. They on our behalf intend to set up more park and ride schemes. Bolton Council allowed permission for a multi storey car park in the middle of the town centre, that's a brilliant way to keep traffic out! What will they decide to do with it when we park and ride, perhaps give planning permission to change it into a multiplex cinema come restaurant with hotel and sports hall? We are going to get our very own 'town centre manager', pay him/her £30,000 a year to tell us how to attract customers to Bolton.
I'll do it for the price of a stamp, 'Drop this ridiculous pay and display scheme'.
