RE the article about the green spaces in Bolton, I live near Leverhulme park and have recently seen direction signposts for suggested walks around the park erected.

Also a large sign at Darcy Lever end welcoming the public to the Nature Reserve.

I think it might be prudent to forewarn the public that in the centre of this nature reserve there is a stinking waste tip, and I do mean stinking. It is a smell you cannot get away from. Not very encouraging for visitors.

Not a very pleasant green space.
