Bolton Council has admitted that it has no idea how it will celebrate its most famous son Jason Kenny's achievements in becoming the joint all-time most successful British Olympian.
Kenny's three gold medals in Rio means he has six Olympic gold medals in his collection alongside Sir Chris Hoy, but after having two post boxes painted gold in his honour after his London 2012 success, as well as having the local leisure centre named after him, the local council is struggling to think of a way to commemorate Kenny once again.
