e2e4 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Fuck off - Don't associate him with me i know. i remember seeing a youtube vid of some out-of-town mp hysterically screaming about it with a bullhorn or megaphone somewhere in bolton (probably on the townhall steps) . It were the same one that lost it when they wanted to put winston churchill on the fiver. (although that were more over elizabeth fry being replaced , iirc). losing to leicester, remembering that sheffield united were sponsored by Capital One fairly recently. all that pissed me off...

Leader of bury council There is high-quality retail mixed with leisure, a cinema, bowling and restaurants all within a square mile. Bury’s offer is almost unique and our planning policies deter out-of-town retail. We are ensuring that development is in and around our town centre and it seems to have worked very, very well.” A lesson for Bolton there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whites man Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Bolton council rakes in big money from the Middlebrook that could easily be going to Chorley or Wigan councils if the retail park was situated a couple of miles away with the same negative effect on the town centre. Not sure what lesson could have been learned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what lesson could have been learned. I'll give you Middlebrook but... The one where Toys R Us is The one near the station with Sainsburys and decathlon The one with Maplin and B&M on Manny road The one with B&Q / Dunelm That's a big Next, a B&M, a maplin, a TK maxx, a Boots, a Currys a another Argos and probably a couple of other shops that could have done well in the town centre. We've fucking loads of retail parks on the edges of town that detract from the town centre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bury tit can block all the out of town development he wants and then watch as a share of his town's retail spend jumps in their car to the Middlebrook, Trafford Centre etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoadRunnerFan Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) Whatever the rights and wrongs, I'm not having it that Morris pitching bolton as a Manc satellite town aids boltons retail offeringsThat's what the mighty Bury have done. The transport links in Bury are good from the direction of Manchester and nowhere else for all the fuss. Bury town centre might do better than Bolton but the bigger picture is in Bolton's favour thanks to Middlebrook.

Marc505 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Went to The Cave tonight down in the vaults, brilliant. Superb space and a proper asset to Bolton, give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boby Brno Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Any body been the food thing Not had chance today and out tmrw night so probably won't make it Spent the afternoon there. Plenty of people about and some subtle changes from last year. A large beer garden in Le Mans Crescent and an Aldi wine garden in the town hall square. Pretty much the same type of food outlets spread around the market. A special mention for the butter stall on Deansgate run by one of our former posters.Had a great day and well worth a visit.

A big carpet store, A pizza hut and Bensons beds next to Dunelm and Currys. 35 years back you had the likes of Graham Eddlestone's carpet store thriving in the town centre.
