Take Hunt Off Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 It's mainly instigated by the 'Horwich First' group & in particular one councillor who floated out some sort of opinion survey in which under 2k residents ( or even non residents participated).It always a potent move to knock the Metro council for this & that . I suspect one of these councillors being a closet red who hates Bolton Wanderers & therefore everything Bolton connected . But I can't prove it. Political stunt of the worst kind.

Take Hunt Off Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Well they have a few councillors elected now so perhaps a little accountability might dampen their diversionary agendas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Postcodes are totally independent of local government. They were created as a tool for Royal Mail, and subsequently used for many different circumstances.

I know I don't live in Bowton any more but who gives a flying fk about Horwich? I remember it just slows you down when driving to Chorley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love & peace ✌️ Thetford (Norfolk) has an Ipswich (Suffolk) postcode in the early 2000s there was a plan to switch it to a Cambridge postcode in the hope it would bring in investment it didn’t happen so I’m assuming the place is still a shithole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burndens Bogs Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) This has got juvenile pie eater wind up written all over it. They actually think that it bothers us that the Stadium is in Horwich - last time i looked Horwich was in Bolton. Their time would be better spent fretting whether their tinpot outfit will even exist this time next year. Tick tock.

The IRA encouraged postmen to return postcoded mail undelivered as they could only understand the townland system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been away, although I have relocated to Staffordshire, so am an extra hour away, and seem to have less time nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
