Bolton Labour Boosts Investment in Parks and Green Spaces
Bolton Labour is investing in our borough’s parks and green spaces, ensuring they remain safe, welcoming, and enjoyable for everyone. Thanks to extra funding, we can now improve play areas, upgrade facilities, and enhance the natural beauty of our local parks—making them better for families, children, and the whole community.
Delivering for Bolton’s Communities
Our parks are at the heart of our neighbourhoods. Whether it’s families enjoying the playground, older residents taking a stroll, or young people playing sports, well-maintained green spaces bring people together and improve our quality of life. This new funding will allow us to:
✔️ Upgrade children’s play areas, making them safer and more engaging
✔️ Improve accessibility, so everyone can enjoy our parks
✔️ Enhance landscaping and greenery, creating cleaner and more attractive spaces
✔️ Support local wildlife, increasing biodiversity and environmental sustainability
A Labour-led Commitment to Our Borough
Cllr Nick Peel, Leader of Bolton Council, said:
“Bolton Labour is committed to improving our local environment and investing in the spaces that matter to people. Our parks and green spaces are vital for mental and physical health, and they bring communities together. This funding will ensure they remain well-maintained, safe, and accessible for everyone.”
For too long, Tory government cuts forced councils to do more with less, leaving local services underfunded. Now, with Labour leadership both locally and nationally, we are starting to rebuild and invest in the services that people rely on.
