BOLTON voters will go to the polls on Thursday ... three weeks before the General Election.
They will be voting in a Bolton Council by-election in the Daubhill ward.
The election was called after Martin Donaghy, who represented the ward for 17 years, was disqualified after a bankruptcy hearing.
There are four candidates in the by-election.
Former miner Denis Barlow, of St George's Court, Bolton will be hoping to hold on to the seat for Labour.
The Tory candidate is Jean Mavis Walsh, Reynolds Close, Over Hulton and the Liberal Democrat is Margaret Rothwell, of Grosvenor Street, Kearsley.
Arthur Scargill's Socialist Labour Party is also putting up its first candidate in a Bolton election, Dot Kelly, of Devon Street, Farnworth.
