The Hoskers is to be resurfaced shortly as part of a massive £1million investment in our roads and footpaths, thanks to the Liberal Democrat team.

Residents had been complaining about the poor state of the road to our team.They had been promised resurfacing works earlier in the year – but are still waiting.

Your Lib Dem team has now been assured by the Council that the resurfacing will take place as soon as the gas pipe works on Leigh Road have been completed.

This is because The Hoskers is currently being used as a diversion route.

The road will be resurfaced at the same time as a number of other roads in Bolton, as a specialist company is being drafted in to do the work. The work on The Hoskers should take about a day.

The planned improvements come as Liberal Democrat councillors were able to secure an extra £1 million investment in roads and footpaths for the borough.

Ward councillor David Wilkinson said: “This is great news for residents who are unhappy with the current state of the road.”
