Following on from the Prime Minister’s Towns Fund announcement earlier in the year, Bolton is to receive up to £25 million from the Conservative Government
Bolton town centre has been added to the shortlist for the government’s Future High Streets Fund, joining Farnworth town centre with its successful bid earlier this year.
Earlier this week, the Conservative Leader of Bolton Council welcomed a Conservative Treasury Minister to Bolton, Horwich, and Farnworth for the first time in 40 years.
In the spirit of fairness, Bolton Council will be included in a trial that will help local authorities recover unpaid council tax. As it it stands, the amount of unpaid council tax is currently costing local authorities tens of millions every year.
Following from our election pledge, Bolton Conservatives are set to launch an extra £10m for local roads and pavements. This report is set to be approved at the Cabinet briefing next Monday.
