THERE has been so much discussion recently about plans to cut into the front of the town hall to form some kind of continental cafe bar and terrace.

But as anyone in their right mind can see this is just an absolutely idiotic idea, not just because of the desecration of the fascia but also as many have already pointed out, after 11am when the sun passes over people would be sitting in the shade.

If Bolton council is so determined to have a cafe bar in the town hall would it not be a better idea to have it on the roof, thus not altering the front of the building but also giving the clientele a unique view of the town which has never before been available.
