ON behalf of the Green Party in Bolton, I would like to wish The Bolton News a happy 150th Birthday.

Its impartial reporting and its balance political reporting is much welcomed.

Its investigative journalism is second to none.

In local papers, we would be much the poorer, and less well informed, without it.

Here's to many more years of The Bolton News.

It really is a vital information outlet to the people of Bolton.
