AFTER reading in the Bolton Evening News (July 2) about "Shoppers back park petition" and Councillor John Byrne saying it was totally misleading to suggest the council is in any way proposing to sell off its parkland.

I'd like to say if he walks down Spa Road to Queens Park he will see they have already built in the park. The current entrance to the park was the second one years ago and now it is the first. Also the original wall to the park is still there, so you can see where the park started and how much has been taken off the park.

I'd also like to ask -- if the park belongs to the people of Bolton then these buildings should never have been built?
