WORDS fail me that Bolton Council would allow a glass monstrosity to be put up on Bridge Street.
Do we need another cafe, and a mall full of high street names? Leave them on the high street and leave the present stalls alone. They provide lots of services which are not available elsewhere.
As David Wood, co-ordinator of the Market Hall Traders Association, said: "Why mend something that isn't broken?" More than 50,000 shoppers should know -- that's why we go there.
But, sadly, like other plans, I think no other amount of petitions will make a scrap of difference. If it goes ahead -- and it probably will -- it will be a disaster for a lot of people who have spent their lives providing the people of Bolton with a first-class service.
