SMALLER parties on Bolton Council have explained their voting decisions which led to the passing of a budget containing £35m of cuts and more than 200 jobs losses for council staff. At last week’s budget meeting, the minority Conservative controlled council voted 28 to 22 to pass the budget. All Conservative members voted in favour, with council leader Cllr David Greenhalgh acknowledging the ‘horrific’ decisions that the authority had to make, with previous financial pressures and the Covid pandemic creating a ‘perfect storm’, The entire Labour group voted against, with their leader Cllr Nick Peel branding the budget ‘immoral’ and saying they ‘would play no part’ in its passing.
This is how four towns in the Bolton borough could be transformed as part of £16 million masterplan The work done in these district centres align with the Bolton Vision 2030 of creating a vibrant place, built on strong cohesive communities, successful business and healthy residents.
