We Love Seven Acres - Bolton

The first picture is the ERC building on Bury Road owned by the Lancashire Wildlife Trust, who are in a partnership with Bolton Council for 30 years. For 15 years the charity raked in hundreds of thousands of pounds to manage Seven Acres, when the money ran out they abandoned Seven Acres and left it to local volunteers to manage the Park.

The volunteers do an amazing job but this neglect by Bolton Council and the LWT, is their responsibility alone, not volunteers, it is far beyond the task of a community group.

These pictures are a testament of the Lancashire Wildlife Trust partnership with Bolton Council who are working on Rock Hall at Moses Gate. The Seven Acres Victorian Bleachworks destroyed, the infrastructure dangerous to the public. This is all on the charities doorstep, they are completely unfit as a charity to be involved in Rock Hall.

This will be Rock Hall when the money runs out...

We've forced Bolton Council to do their job in clearing the land with an official complaint, and issued a five day notice to them of a pending court summons if they don't clear the flytipping at Monks Lane, Seven Acres.

There's still waste to be removed by Bury Road, hopefully the council clears the rest or further action will be taken. We shouldn't have to do any of this, but this is what happens when Sean Fielding, Breightmet Labour Councillor openly states on his own profile that environmental issues should not be a priority for Councillor's. We end up doing his job because he doesn't live here, nor does he care.

In December 2023, the sofas had been reported, it's been almost a year and Cllr Fieldings response over these matters is that litter picking isn't a priority for Breightmet residents. Is he trying to imply Breightmet residents like to live in their own filth?

This is how the Lancashire Wildlife Trust keeps Seven Acres clean, only ten feet from their Manchester HQ on Bury Road. They've recieved millions over the last 15 years, and couldn't care less about the park, to not even bother reporting this landfill outside their doors is disgraceful.

We've done their job and reported it to the council for removal.

Bolton protest, thugs from the Muslim Defense League turned up with baseball bats, cricket bats and weapon to attack protesters. Caught on video being arrested for intending to use them on members of the public, police can be seen handling the 300 strong young Muslim men with kids gloves.

Meanwhile kicking, assaulting and pushing a handful of protesters to the floor, including a man with a walking stick for standing still. One type of police for the Muslim Defense League, and another type of police for everyone else.

Flytipping has increased by 396% in Bolton from last year, Labour think this is a great time to switch your cardboard bin to a monthly collection, meaning if you miss one collection, you'll have 2 months of cardboard waste before the next collection.

If you struggle with your cardboard waste, please don't dump it on Seven Acres. Volunteers work really hard to keep the park clean.
