THE odds are looking good on a former town centre bank being converted into a bookmakers.

The premises on Deansgate was home to a branch of Barclays bank which closed more than a year ago.

An application has been submitted to Bolton Council from Manchester-based firm Done Bookmakers to turn the building into a betting shop.

The betting firm already has two shops in Bolton.

One is on Wigan Road and the other is in the town centre on Newport Street.
