The Labour leader of Bolton Council, Nick Peel, has announced two major new initiatives.
1. Free use of Bolton’s leisure centres for the over 65s will no longer be restricted to after 9.30am. Like the free travel on buses for pensioners, Bolton Council will be removing these restrictions.
2. In recognition of the Gold Award for the Armed Forces Covenant, Bolton Council will extend free use of its leisure centres to all Armed Forces veterans, regardless of age.
Another pledge of this Labour Council to be fulfilled: to improve the health wellbeing of those who have already done their part in serving Bolton.
