Ruth Kelly’s shutters controversy

Ruth Kelly MP

The office of Bolton West MP Ruth Kelly is at the centre of a controversy - over new shutters that have been installed at the premises.

Kelly’s office is in Wilbraham Street, at the junction of Wigan Road and Market Street, which falls within a conservation area.

'The Bolton News' reports on the shutters

The owners of the office facilities are now having to apply for retrospective planning permission. If the plans are refused the shutters will have to be removed.

The problem shutters were discovered by ward councillor David Wilkinson. The Bolton News recently reported on the issue.
