Extend clean-up throughout town

The cleaning up of the flagstones around the Churchgate area was very welcome. Now, can this be extended throughout the town and on to the walls of Bolton.

Walk round Bank Street, through Bradshawgate, parts of the town centre, into Great Moor Street and go past the bus station and you will discover the majority of walls to be "decorated" with fly posters advertising various gigs, nightclubs, DJ-ing events and record releases. Do these people pay for this free advertising of their events? Isn't it illegal to simply go out and stick a poster up on a wall? What's the difference between putting up a poster on the wall of a disused pub and sticking a load up on the town hall, the magistrates court or, perhaps, some of these new so-called luxury flats that are springing up all over the place?

Sort it out Bolton Council - or the police; these posters, which are left up for weeks and look even messier when they have been soaked by rain, do not create a good impression for visitors coming to the town. Eventually the only way we will be able to make people stay in Bolton is by these fly-posters pasting them to the walls.
