A NURSERY in one of the most deprived areas of Bolton has again been earmarked for closure just three years after it was saved following a public outcry. Harvey Nursery in Great Lever is under threat after Town Hall chiefs said it was becoming too costly to keep open. The nursery for babies to pre-school children is the only Bolton Council run nursery. Under the proposals 15 full time posts will be lost and more than 50 children will have to be placed in alternative provision. The proposal was discussed at a council meeting last week, but was called in by Cllr Donaghy, Labour s children s services spokesperson, to be re-examined before a decision is made, which would lead to 15 full-time posts being axed.
