The trees have been planted on land surrounding an electricity substation in recent weeks. The Trees for Climate programme has seen the region’s electricity network operator, Electricity North West partner with City of Trees. More than 370 trees have now been planted on land surrounding Electricity North West’s Slack Lane substation.

Steve Cox, the firm s engineering and technical director, said: “We’re always looking at different ways to improve the environment and offset carbon emissions and planting hundreds of trees is a great contribution.

A WESTHOUGHTON councillor has today announced she is quitting the Lib-Dems to join the rival Tory Party. Cllr Bernadette Eckersley-Fallon, who represents Westhoughton North and Chew Moor, made the shock announcement saying it is no longer tenable for her to remain part of the Lib-Dem group, while stressing her commitment to her ward remains the same . Cllr Eckersley- Fallon said:“I hope residents have experienced my work ethic during the time I have been a councillor, and my total commitment to Westhoughton, and they will appreciate that I have not taken a decision of this nature lightly. “During my time as a councillor, I have worked alongside all parties both in Westhoughton and on Council committees, and observed a wider picture, and it is no longer tenable for me to stay within the Liberal Democrat group.”
However, in order to progress some railway stations and routes have had to be abandoned. Some local stations were forced to shut for practical and economic reasons.
