TORIES and Liberal Democrats have agreed to share the opposition posts on Bolton Council.

Both parties won six seats in the local elections earlier this month.

The Tories will be the main opposition on the management and finance, education and arts and social services committees and on a new committee which has been set up to help re-vitalise the Deane, Derby and Daubhill areas.

The Liberal Democrats' committees are planning and environment services, housing, contract services and leisure services.
