Interesting article in the latest Friends of Real Lancashire Magazine and good to see Councillor Steve Chadwick of Horwich First bring this to light.
It appears as though Bolton Council has abused the law to deny our Lancashire heritage by refusing to use our historic county name on the new Horwich signs. Only a few years ago, Sir Eric Pickles changed the law to recognise our historic counties - surely our planning officers knew this law just as I and Councillor Chadwick did? The article is well worth a read.
