Bolton's £40m bids to transform the town centre and one of the borough's busiest roads were unsuccessful in this week's announcement on the 'Levelling Up' scheme.

The council lodged the two bids for the town centre and for De Havilland Way, each of them worth £20 million, last summer.

An announcement on the outcome of this round of the scheme, the second round since it was launched in 2020, was scheduled for the end of last year.

On Wednesday, after a number of delays, it was announced the two bids were unsuccessful, with 15 other bids in the North West successful instead.
