I disagree with the amendments made by anonymous user 84.68.55.79 on 28 July, changing all instances of the word "village" to "town", and adding the comment "still often referred to as a village", as if the original text were out of date. I live in Bulkington and have never heard anyone refer to the place as a town, always as a village. Likewise, no shop names, service names or signs refer to it as a town. Moreover, the number of businesses and amenities in Bulkington, and indeed the size and feel of the place do not, in my opinion, justify town status. Does anyone else have any opinions on the matter, and on whether or not the changes should be reverted? --Leon Robbins 16:55, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

• Quite right, Bulkington has never had a town charter or town council or any other of the things which make it a town. So I've removed that statement. G-Man * 13:49, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

• I've made a few further changes, as the place was still referred to as a town in paragraphs after the first. --Leon Robbins 21:57, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
