A sincere thank you goes to the homeowner for kindly allowing the plaque to be fitted, and special thanks to Roy Davies for carrying out the installation.

Today Bolton Council launched a consultation reviewing the Alcohol Public Space Protection Order, which is due for renewal in October 2026.

Have your say the Alcohol Consumption Public Space Protection Order [PSPO] for the Borough of Bolton.
Bolton Council currently has an Alcohol PSPO which is due to expire in October 2026. This PSPO enables Greater Manchester Police [GM Police] and any other authorised officer to challenge alcohol-related crime and anti-social behaviour in a public place in Bolton.

We are now seeking to renew it for a further 3 years and would like feedback from the public and key stakeholders. For further information and to have your say, please visit: https://bit.ly/Alcohol_PSPO
Deadline: Thursday 16th July 2026
