- The Dogs on Leads by Direction PSPO
- The Fouling of Land by Dogs PSPO

We are now keen to hear from our residents, stakeholders and visitors on their experiences of the PSPOs and views around the proposed renewal. For further information and to have your say, please visit: https://bit.ly/Dog_Control2026. Deadline: Monday 13th July 2026

Following promotion to the Championship after victory at Wembley, Bolton Wanderers F.C. were honoured at a Civic Reception hosted by Bolton Council at Bolton Town Hall to celebrate this fantastic achievement alongside the players and club officials.

On Wednesday, I was delighted to be invited to acknowledge a local couple celebrating their Sapphire Wedding Anniversary, marking 65 years of marriage together — a truly wonderful milestone and a special occasion to recognise.

| The North Neighbourhood Team will be deploying our knife amnesty bin as part of the national week of action to tackle knife crime. You can safely dispose of any unwanted knives at the following drop off location:

📍 Bolton Gate Retail Park, Turton Street, Bolton, BL1 1RX
🗓️ Friday 22nd May
🕙 12pm - 2pm

You may have unwanted knives at home and are worried about safely disposing of them. This is an excellent way to ensure they are responsibly and securely disposed of. This is also an opportunity to anonymously hand over knives without fear of prosecution. If you wish to hand over a knife, please ensure the blade is safely wrapped in cardboard, secured in place with tape, and placed into an opaque bag whilst in on route to the amnesty bin. No details will be taken, no questions asked - simply walk over, drop off, and walk away knife free.
