Boltonians are Lancastrians - Campaigning for Bolton's Lancashire Heritage to be restored

To sign the campaign against Bolton Council's recent refusal to restore Bolton's Lancashire Heritage. If we can attract significant numbers, this will be handed to Cllr John Walsh to petition the council.

Why is this important?

Lancashire Day was recently on the agenda at a Bolton Council Meeting with a request to reintroduce Lancashire to road signs and street furniture. This was quickly dismissed by the council leader, Cliff Morris with the response of "I wish you would get over it", he told Cllr John Walsh. "Bolton has been part of Greater Manchester for 30 years."

This is not what the people of Bolton want to hear with an overwhelming 97% in favour of ending their association with Greater Manchester and restoring Bolton's Lancashire heritage.
