The River Croal THE banks of a Bolton river are to be restored and natural flood defences bolstered as part of a £1.8M ‘green recovery’ project. The River Croal is one of the priority projects for the Greater Manchester Environment Fund (GMEF) that will establish a network for nature across the region. The establishment of the fund is also good news for people working in the environment and young people looking for green careers as 37 jobs will be created or safeguarded, including 12 traineeships. The Greater Manchester Environment Fund (GMEF) is being established to deliver the area’s ambition for a ‘clean, carbon-neutral, climate resilient city region with a thriving natural environment’, by aligning public and philanthropic funding and attracting private investment.
