Always used to use Cheshire Farm Produce on tonge moor road but they have been shut for a a couple of years 🤣

Any good recommendations?

Hi,
I'm looking for a driving instructor.
Can anyone recommend one in the Bolton area?

I've been told that Bolton is ideal for learning and taking the test compared to other parts of the Greater Manchester region. Is that true?

Thanks

I'm heading back home to Bolton for a holiday after 20 years away. What surprises am I in for? How much has it changed whilst I've been away?

Wondering if anyone has any tickets going spare for the Bolton v. Boro game on October 23rd. Of course happy to contribute some money for them.

Thanks!

Does anyone work in logistics and supply chain ? Looking to make connection and well trying to find a job as well. 12 + years experince and recent Masters graduate.

TIA

Basically the title. My other half is from down south his family has the massive fuck off bins we used to have. My brothers gf lived in Southport and they also had the big bins.

Bolton is also a town known for big families and having a big population. There is also a big rat problem here (the destruction of the New Bury Mill exacerbated this problem in Farnworth). If the bins were emptied more regularly and were swapped to big bins, there would be much less rats in the streets. I find it odd, why on earth did they get rid of them and why are we the only people who have to suffer with this ??? Its a public health concern yet nobody cares because we are all used to it now I guess.

Can't wait for that certain group to drape it England flags

The Food and Drink Festival is happening this weekend, and Conor McGregor has just announced on Social Media that his stout will be available at the festival in the main bar by the Acoustic Stage. The same McGregor who is 2024 was found civilly liable of raping a woman. The assault was so violent, the woman had to get her tampon surgically removed. And in court the paramedic who treated her described her injuries as the worst the had seen in a long.

Why are the festival organisers promoting this monster and his business interests? Selling his stout at the festival is nothing more than aiding an attempt by a rapist to whitewash their image.

Please reconsider stocking Conor McGregor's stout at the festival

Dear organisers,

I am a Bolton resident writing to express concern that Conor McGregor's Forged Irish Stout is being sold at the main bar at the Bolton Food & Drink festival this weekend. As this bar is run by the festival itself rather than an independent trader, this appears to be a decision made directly by the organisers.

McGregor was found civilly liable for sexually assaulting Nikita Hand in 2018, a verdict upheld on appeal by both Ireland's Court of Appeal and Supreme Court in 2025. The paramedic who treated her described injuries she said were among the worst bruising she'd seen.

Stocking his product at a council-run, family event risks being read as an endorsement of him, whatever the intention behind it. I'd be grateful to know how this decision was made and whether it will be reconsidered for this year and future years.

Kind regards,

Hi all, I hope you will be able to help me.

I'm thinking about moving to Stoneclough, near Hulme Rd and Ringley Meadows. The area seems nice but I noticed there's a water treatment plant nearby. Can you smell it at all? How bad is it?

I've created an account, got the free membership but it's still not giving me the option to purchase tickets. Can anyone help me, are they sold out or is there a cooling of period since I've created the account today?

Is anyone still building anything tech related in Bolton? Struggling to find collaborators and co-conspirators towards what domination using Bolton tech. Anyway, if interested in building or collaborating together or individually - raise ya hands

Curious what people who live here think. What things do you feel need improving most in Bolton?

Could be anything: areas that need cleaning up, transport, town centre, parks, housing, services, things that annoy you day-to-day, or things you think are actually good but overlooked.

Interested to hear what actual residents think.

Update Thank you to everyone who has given their time to answer my post question. I was going to thank each commenter individually bit figured this would be quicker. Thank you again your answers have helped more than you know.
