Spider Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 Just been in Bolton town centre. Fuck. Ing. Hell. It just gets worse every time I see it. Flatten everything except the town hall and the market place. Turn it into a park or summert. It’s a goner. Quote

Benny The Ball Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 Decent radio programme on BBC Radio 4 series last night "The Bottom Line" focusing entirely on Bolton - looking at the impact of Covid on the local economy - talks about the town centre regeneration plans towards the end. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000nvtx Quote

If they go ahead with the thousand of houses round the corner from you though, there may be a slightly better one. Quote

Me neither this has been mentioned on and off for yonks, but if the government are providing funding for a study could be something or just lip service Quote
MickyD Posted November 26, 2020 Posted November 26, 2020 That “existing but disused” track has has houses built on it at Darcy Lever. Besides, if this is just an extension of the Manc-Bury line then I’m not sure folk would ever use it if they needed to travel through Bury to get to Manchester. Quote
Tonge moor green jacket Posted November 26, 2020 Posted November 26, 2020 Get the money spent on charging infrastructure or some other environmental cause. Or give it to the towns' football league teams. Er, hang on, there's only one- better let them have it all. Quote

It could take a small amount of traffic off the roads if people don't need to drive down to Radcliffe Station, but it would only be small. Folk on the other side of Bolton would use the train. Not sure there are that many folk driving the few miles between the two towns for work neither. The route is now a cycle way and apart from crossing the odd road is traffic free, and widely used. Can't see the need at all. Quote

Ok, I get it - you don't like it... So tell us about your dream Mosque..? Re: Campcraft - dunno about them owning the building - iirc they used to be in The 'Boydells' block near the wheel when I was a kid, used to dedicate the 1st floor to pitched tents we'd go in and piss about in them. Wank each other off for a laugh 😉. There was a cheaper outdoors shop right on the square - great location, still folded. Pastie Shoppe location irrelevant - but it'll die with its clientele. And finally, Ting, used to love this until I checked it's sugar content - makes Coke seem like a health drink. Quote
Youri McAnespie Posted November 26, 2020 Posted November 26, 2020 (edited) And a Metrolink on either of the old Bolton-Radcliffe-Bury or Bolton-Eccles/Trafford-Manchester railways is the biggest load of pipe dream pie in the sky rubbish ever... I can only presume those muting such daft ideas haven't ever biked or walked either path. Carrying out such a plan - it'd make The Three Gorges Dam construction look like a doddle.

frank_spencer Posted November 26, 2020 Posted November 26, 2020 Not gonna happen, it'll get brought up every few years and still not be viable. Like lots of big public engineering projects it's doable but the cost will prevent it ever happening. Quote
