PUB landlords and ladies across Bolton are busy preparing for their re-openings later this year - and they all have unique ways in which they will be celebrating. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has already confirmed pubs will be permitted to reopen outdoors from April 12 and indoors from May 17, at the earliest. And it’s been full steam ahead for re-openings across the borough. Michelle Harrison, who runs The Greyman in Hindley Road, Westhoughton, shut her doors in October - but will ensure her regulars experience delayed Christmas festivities. She said: “I just can’t wait. We’ve been in lockdown for however many months now and it’ll be great to finally open again.

The Bolton landlady whose new pub was only open for four hours before last lockdown A LANDLADY has said she is hoping for a better year after a previous lockdown forced her to close just four hours into her stint as manager of a pub. But Michelle Harrison, who runs The Greyman in Hindley Road, Westhoughton, said that she doesn’t think Prime Minister Boris Johnson will make sweeping changes in his announcement on Monday. She said: “I took over the pub in September but was only open for four hours before the lockdown on September 8. I was open again in October for a while, but I didn’t agree with the substantial meal thing. There s not much you can do about it though.
If businesses are awarded a score lower than five, the local authority officer will explain what action they can take to improve. Businesses have to apply to be rated again prior to the next scheduled inspection, so even if the improvements are made, this may not be immediately reflected in their score with many restaurants and takeaways currently waiting for new inspections which have been put on hold due to COVID-19. Businesses in Wales and Northern Ireland are now legally required to display their ratings in a prominent place, such as the front door, entrance or window of the premises. Display became mandatory in Wales in November 2013 and in Northern Ireland in October 2016. In England businesses are encouraged but not yet required by law to display their rating.
