PERHAPS the admirable work undertaken by the traffic wardens in Bolton, who ensure that the letter of the law is adhered to, could be directed towards the council chief's call for "crimefighters".

With the eagerness that the wardens have shown in ensuring that cars are not parked where they should not be, just imagine how safe the lovely parks of Bolton or the housing estates would become if their energies were directed in a way that would be beneficial to the whole of Bolton -- helping Boltonians reclaim what the thugs have taken.
