WITH a third national lockdown currently in place, people are going back to nature for their daily exercise outing. But in recent days, there have been issues with people travelling several miles to well known sites Rivington for example which is said to go against the spirit of lockdown. Now one couple believe they have happened on the perfect walk, which takes in the most scenic parts of Bolton the seemingly forgotten Rotary Way. (Russell Brookes and Louise Mort) Russell Brookes, who lives in Westhoughton, came across a sign for Bolton Rotary Way while out walking in Dunscar before coming across another sign in Atherton, before the third national lockdown.
One of the cars was owned by a heavily pregnant woman.
The Sinn Féin MLA said, “This is a disgusting attack on this close-knit community who are in total shock this morning.
“My colleague, Councillor Charlie Casey and I have spoken with a couple who had their car and work van burnt in this incident and they were extremely shaken up.”
The Newry MLA continued, “One of the victims is heavily pregnant and this has caused her and her husband huge stress.
“The wider implications of this attack are the fear and anxiety caused to the victims and the Derrybeg community, as well as the negative impact on people’s livelihoods.”
