Withered leaves and twigs are a sign of ash dieback.
BOLTON Council is having to remove a further 27 diseased, damaged or dead trees in Farnworth after they became infected with ash dieback. The chronic fungal disease in trees is characterised by leaf loss and crown dieback, with fears it could affect up to 80 per cent of native ash trees in Britain. Ash dieback first appeared in the UK back in 2012 and infected trees in Bolton have already had to be cut down, including 23 mature trees in the grounds of Bolton Parish Church in November. The council carries our regular inspections of trees on the borough s highways, as well as parks and other council-owned land. Surveys to look for evidence of dead, damaged or diseased trees are also carried out in Bolton s woodlands.
TRADITIONAL Christmas church services will go ahead across the borough this year, but with some key differences. Congregations will be reduced in numbers with mask wearing and social distancing being put in place, with some churches operating a booking system to keep people safe. Singing won t be possible, although several churches have hosted outdoor carol services this year to spread the festive cheer. Despite the restrictions, efforts have been made to ensure families with young children feel included by both denominations. Church services will take place at Bolton Parish Church. Church warden Evelyn Weston said:”We have our pop-up nativity and crib service at 3pm on Christmas Eve and then we have what most people call midnight mass at 11pm in the evening.
A host of community organisations and churches have come together to deliver Bolton s Big Carol Service for an online audience this year. The carol service will be streamed on YouTube and Facebook on Monday December 21 thanks to the work of over 40 different Bolton churches, Christian organisations and community groups. Advertising for the event is appearing across the town, on six billboards, 35 buses, 16,000 Christmas cards, 400 posters and 48 large banners throughout this month. The event has been organised by the ‘Passion for Bolton 2030 Vision’ steering team, Bolton’s town-wide church unity group, who aim to share the love of God across Bolton by encouraging churches to work together to support each other and support the Bolton community.
