A GOVERNMENT minister is due in town on Tuesday, January 26.
Hugh Bayley, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Disability Benefits, is to open the new Bolton office which houses the town's New Deal for Disabled People initiative.
Bolton is one of six national areas piloting the programme - part of the Government's welfare to work programme. It is a joint Employment Service and Benefit Agency initiative. The Bolton office is at Acresfield house, Exchange Street, Bolton.
The project, which seeks to give new choices and empowerment to people with disabilities, is seeking to build partnerships with local employers, businesses and organisations.
