I WRITE as Bolton resident supporting Cllr John Walsh`s Letter regarding plans for the town centre, including the Town Hall, Newport Street and Le Mans Crescent.

I fully support all that John Walsh says as I am sure many other Bolton residents will also. The spoiling of the Town Hall and Le Mans Crescent should not be tolerated. The idea of painting Newport St like Toyland is farcical. It is time the people of Bolton stood up to the people who make and push through these crackpot ideas for our town.

Does the Labour council honestly believe that doing these things will enhance our town? I think not! Most people currently avoid the town centre and go to others towns to shop, namely Bury, which is a fine town with lots to offer. Please people of Bolton let's come together to try and stop our town being further destroyed.
