The Two Faces of Bolton









We are constantly reminded in the Bolton News and Bolton Scene of the wonderful things which are happening to the town at the behest of the Labour Council and in particular the Department of Development & Regeneration. (Chief Honcho – Mr Keith Davies)

·        The new Cinema and Restaurants at the (nearly empty) Market Place

·        The new £48m bus station behind St Pat’s. (a further 500yds from the Market)

·        The changing of Newport St to a European Boulevard (no doubt so the East European beggars will feel more at home, our home grown wino’s can share in the European joy of drinking outside and shoppers will be able to dine al fresco on Gregg’s Pasties)

·        The £4.8m refurb of the ‘award winning’ Bolton Market (see above)

·        Etcetera –etcetra –etcetera.

Mr Davies in fact has been recently awarded an Honorary Degree by Bolton University for his 'Contribution to the town of Bolton'



Whilst all these projects are no doubt laudable, for visitors to reach them they have to pass by some sights which the Council is keen not to mention.

Perhaps I could point some of them out.

























 
 

Perhaps it is best summed up by this Advert on the side of the Hen & Chickens Pub
