I HAVE just read to my amazement the plans to revamp the new leisure centre in Bolton at a cost of £1m.

Why wasn't a sauna and steam room not in the original plans? Now it will cause disruption and cost more than it would have done in the first place. The exact same thing will happen at the new centre being built in Horwich. The population of Horwich is expected to increase vastly there is not even a cafe being incorporated into it, how can the council be so short sighted?

The priorities are all wrong to spend such an amount on this venture. The roads in Bolton are crumbling which leads me to the ridiculous amount of money wasted on the 20mph signs. I openly challenge the people responsible for these to walk around the area where I live and justify them in cul-de-sacs and short roads impossible to reach 20mph.
