FOLLOWING the recent letters regarding the Lancashire/Greater Manchester debate, I would just like to say to those regarding Bolton as still in Lancashire to think again.
l Ask at any Post Office in Bolton which county we belong to
l Buy an up-to-date road atlas of Britain, and there you will see Bolton in the County of Greater Manchester
l Listen to any local radio or TV news channel and Bolton will referred to as in Greater Manchester.
l Take a ride up Belmont Road and you will see two road signs back to back one going towards Belmont saying "Welcome to Lancashire", and one the other way to Bolton saying "Welcome to Greater Manchester".
Let's move on and leave everything pre-1974 in the past.
