The Market Place/bolton Town Centre/rant Page.

Read on twatter a post by Reebok Voice saying he had been in The Market Place and was suprised to see so many empty shops.

 

I think he said 20 odd closed. I went in sunday and also couldnt believe how many closed!

 

Well according to the Bolton News, another 2 are closing.

 

Top man and The body shop.

 

Place will be closed in 5 years!!

  • I get the distinct impression that I'm not well liked around here.

  • Bolton will be a shithole for as long as the council is dominated by Labour halfwits.   Reap what you sow etc..   They think capital investment is getting the train to London for a march.   Big

  • Laughable. The report suggests the need for more independent retailers. Didn't someone make a decision to modernise the market hall and price out the independents. Useless the lot of them

I'll have to PM you why! :D

 

Go on then....

Lets hope it works for the sake of Bolton.

Apologies if this has been covered in the thread earlier but whoever 'designed' the new road layout / traffic easing system outside the post office wants shooting! From one lane down to 2 with the 2nd lane used for turn offs for streets no one goes down. Which ultimately makes it impossible to get out of the car park behind McDonald's as its all backed up. You then have to queue ten minutes as opposed to 1 minute previously. Absolute farce.

Possibly the same m0ng that did Manchester Road, as the lane that goes off to Trinity Street begins at Orlando Bridge and at least 50% of people, including the buses, use it to go straight on. Fucked.

Eventually, that part of manny road is going to see someone get stabbed. That whole junction looks like it was drawn in crayon by a blind spastic.

 

 

I can think of no reason why I would ever need to go shopping in bolton town centre

 

So?

 

I'm from Bolton and can think of no reason why I would ever need to go shopping in Horwich, Colchester or Ashby de la Zouch town centres.

So leave the town centre the desolate shithole that it is. Easy. :).

the stock answer is as follows

 

 

its part of the state of the art one-way system, that once finsihed will transform bolton into the rejkavik of the north

 

 

what will actually happen is that they'll be 90% of the way there, realise its shite and start again

That hotel doesn't appear to have a secure car park.

 

Probably underneath

There's going to be elevated 'airport style' travelators to that new multistorey behind Deane Road. There will be an escalator 'stop' for the new Bolton College and University. There's a similar one planned to provide quick access to The Town Hall too. There's going to be hot oil and pitch vending machines the length of the facility - £1 a cup, to tip on the riff-raff scurrying around beneath.

 

It's part of an ambitious scheme to raise the whole town centre 12 metres above it's present level, expected to be finished by 2016.

Well, was it all Mary Poppins like with people sat around in the spring sunshine feeding the pigeons whilst some jolly japeth gave everyone a laugh regaling some witty ditty whilst jigging around with a broom?

So, the site melt was wrong, you can get stuff in the provinces, fuck knows what we'll do if we're all forced to go into Bolton as was the suggestion :D

CWP was well off the mark, there.

I was indeed, she clearly saved a bit of cash and got one of her mates to do it with some Indian ink instead.
