Surely if this information is out in the public domain, the local press would be all over it.............

It's a national problem.

It might well be. But what snowball is talking about is a specific incident on a specific ward and one which was subsequently hushed up by members of the council. And it involves my local councillor as I live in Crompton Ward.

I genuinely wouldn't be surprised.

I'd be surprised that no local or national news outlets had picked up on it. Especially in the current climate.

I don't disagree if it is 'common knowledge' though I'm sure there's a few things go on in the town hell that we wouldn't like.

Town hell? Freudian slip? :-)

Snowball, would your dad know about these things

"exotic street food"

 

I went into Afflecks last week and there was a massive cafe selling assorted cereals at about £5 a bowl. Winner...

Flats in 5 years

Wait, no betting shops?

Typical of Bolton someone comes up with a plan for doing something actually good and out of the ordinary, possibly being a replacement for the small traders stalls in the Market Place. 

And thre BEN comments are a mixture of folk finding fault or complaining about muslamics.

 

Is it any wonder investors steer clear?

 

I hope its a roaring success and encourages other similar investments

I thought that car park had been condemned?

It has, but it won't be hard to fix, just wasn't cost effective for NCP.

It has - wasnt there a problem with the concrete structure crumbling??

So, how does the approved planning for this fit in with Morris' plans to ruin the town, like you all keep saying?

It's a shit hole and it feels like it's all a bit late this but fair play that stuffs being done. Hope it works

I presume that people don't really think that he's deliberately trying to ruin the town....do they?

Well the Balmoral is looking resplendent in its new paint job, so its not all bad news.

It's all prefab concrete, it was way past it's design life.

 

If the yanks hadn't fucked up the economy by not paying their mortgages then it'd be a cinema by now.

And the replacment car park would be up over the road.

I'm his biggest critic, he's a cunt. The trouble is that he's so tremendously fat that he THINKS he's doing a good job. All the saturated fat coursing through his veins is addling his thought processes. He needs to fuck off, immediately.

 

No-one WANTS the town to be a shithole. If it was a decent standard I expect more people would go out in Bolton and avoid the £50 taxi home from Manchester now and again (Manchester will always be better, but that's not the issue).

 

I used to be proud to tell everyone I met I was from Bolton. Be good to do that again but it won't happen with Dumbo in charge.

I hope this works out. If it's filled with the right kind of small businesses - it could be the perfect antidote to all the chains and out of town shopping centres. That's a big if though!
