A meeting to give people living in the town the chance to find out more about a new government campaign is due to take place on Thursday.

The Breightmet, Burnden and Tonge Moor areas have been chosen by the government to pilot its so-called 'Together' scheme.

The meeting will be held at the Castle Hill Centre in Tonge Moor.

It will allow local people to speak to police officers, the council and private landlords about any concerns they may have.

The meeting will also hear from representatives of the Haulgh community partnership in central Bolton who have managed to improve life in their neighbourhood by tackling issues including prostitution and drug dealing.
