Cllr Deborah Newall and Cllr Melanie Livesey have joined the Bolton Labour Group on Bolton Council.

Nick Peel, Labour leader of Bolton Council, welcomed Deborah and Melanie into the Labour Team.

Nick Peel said:

 “Bolton Labour Party in the past was accused by the local independent parties of taking our eye off the ball when it came to the local towns, and I accept that we could have done better.

“However, the Labour group that now runs Bolton Council, after four years of Tory rule, is a new revitalised and a listening group.

“It is a group where talented councillors, like Debbie and Melanie, and anyone who holds to our ideals and wants to be part of improving of borough, are welcome.”
