Two year groups are isolating from a Bolton primary school after a positive Covid case.
We don t want another lockdown - Bolton schools urge parents to follow rules as Covid cases hit
Surge testing is taking place in certain areas amid concerns over rise of Indian variant
Updated
Parents are being reminded to get tested and follow the rules amid Covid cases in Bolton schools. Parts of Bolton are seeing an escalation of surge testing amid growing concern over the continuing rapid rise of coronavirus in the borough.
Cases of both the South African and Indian variants have been discovered in the town, where the infection rate is four times the England average.
There have been a number of bubble closures in Bolton schools, with headteachers warning families to carry on following the rules.
A CHURCH which has been targeted by vandals has been given a security boost thanks to a kind-hearted community group. Trinity Methodist Church in Tonge Fold had a front window – positioned above the church door – smashed in late November last year. Yobs picked up a large painted pebble that was decorated for Remembrance Day and threw it at the window. Then on New Year’s Eve, half a brick was hurled at the same window, not long after it had been repaired. These are not the first occasions vandals have caused a nuisance at the church. Before the coronavirus restrictions were imposed last year, the Tonge Old Road church hosted groups including a snooker club on Wednesday nights. A couple of the club members, who parked their cars at the side of the church, found windows of their vehicles had been smashed at the start of last year.
