A RETAIL park on the edge of Bolton town centre is set to be rejuvenated to help position Greater Manchester as a centre of green innovation. Greenworks is a Bolton at Home project delivered in partnership with the charity Urban Outreach and is the new name for a transformation at Trinity Retail Park off St Peter’s Way. The social housing provider acquired retail units and land at the retail park in December, to turn into a community focused green technology and skills hub. The aim is to help achieve a sustainable net-zero carbon future and support people into jobs in the construction and energy sectors.
BOLTON’S district centres are set to benefit from a £16m cash injection to make them a ‘better place to live and work’. Horwich, Little Lever, Westhoughton and Farnworth will get a slice of the funding put forward by Bolton Council. In Little Lever, £1.25m will go towards the new health centre and library, currently under construction and due to open in December. Cllr Sean Hornby said: “This is the biggest investment into Little Lever in more than 30 years. Despite difficult restrictions due to the pandemic we are delivering more parts of the jigsaw for our village centre.” The investment also includes the start of the new Lever Gardens residential scheme.
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.
