I refer to Cllr Gunther’s 968 pothole problem (Bury Times, March 25) and also the problem of the people of Bury in finding a public toilet that is both open and usable during late evenings and early mornings. I have a solution for her. Let the townsfolk and visitors alike fill in the potholes. Everyone would be relieved!

In addition to Cllr Gunther welcoming the councillors of Barnsley to view our wonderful market (Letters March 25) let her bring them to to Bury out of shopping hours to visit our pathetic provision of toilets. They would certainly be overwhelmed with that experience. Why does Cllr Gunther not pay attention to the basic requests of the council tax payers of Bury and continue only to provide top show entertainment for others?
