Would it mean Ramsbottom would need to get the blue signs installed everywhere?

James Frith has been continuing to show up in various press recently, not only standing by Ramsbottom to get better transport via the Rosso Bus diversions but also helping various charities including this spot in Bury Times for D-CaFF and Bury Hospice.

Great to see our local MP using his image for good.

How do you think James has done since taking office?
