AS has been highlighted in the Bolton News in recent weeks, on June 4 the council planning committee is scheduled to decide on its own application to alter the frontage of our imposing and historic town hall, in order to accommodate outside seating for a cafe and restaurant.
My heartfelt plea is, that every councillor who is a member of the planning committee, at some time before the decisive meeting, stands in The Square, on the side opposite the town hall and looks at that magnificent, symmetrical, dignified building. If they look at it with open eyes and mind, I do not see how they could vote to do the irreversible damage proposed.
