Ray says, "Ashton-in-Makerfield is NOT a town"

YOU are WRONG! Cheeeeeesey!

By all definitions of a 'town', Ashton in Makerfield suits the title. Stubshaw Cross is one, of many, 'settlements' within the 'town' of Ashton in Makerfield.

Ashton lost it's 'district' title when it was merged with other 'districts' to form a Metropolitan Borough in 1972.

IT'S A TOWN!
