THANK goodness someone wants to put a decent building on the former site of Bolton Community College off Manchester Road.

This land has been vacant since the college moved to its new venue on Deane Road and the existing buildings were demolished. Now, a £9 million state-of-the-art car dealership could be built there by Audi car dealership, Inchcape.

It’s one of the main gateways to the town and, apart from a few notable buildings, has turned into a scruffy and deserted area. We need to make a good first impression to visitors here and this new development could certainly help.
