Left Bolton in 1973 to travel the world! Now live in London, still visit "home" annually. I see great changes being made!

Ken Barker

Of its diversity, its fantastic community and voluntary sector and the great working relationships I have developed over the last 10 years of working in Bolton!

Louise McDade

I lived there for 6 years and I completed my studies in Bolton Institute of Higher Education from 1979 to 1985. I like its people, places like Queen's Park, Town Centre, Arndale Centre and so many places. Thanks to all Bolton community.

Khalid Alfar

I love Bolton because you are no more than a 10 minute drive from a lodge, river, hills, parks or shops. Take your pick where to go today to see the sights, historical or modern.

Rachel Chamberlain

I love all the shops that aren't high street chains because they're what really makes a town, I live in Bury but I love visiting Bolton just for those characteristic and one of a kind shops. In the age where chains are getting bigger and family run businesses are becoming less and less frequent it's nice to know that Bolton still has character!

Hollie

I love Bolton because it became home when home was no longer safe.

Catherine Skelton

Because this is where I was born, have grown up, made friends, started my own family and made special memories. Bolton is surrounded by beautiful countryside that is only a 10 minute drive out of the town centre.

Kelly Burke

I love Bolton because of its proximity to open space, the friendly and diverse population. Ease to get into Manchester on the train.

Jayne Stott

All roads in my life have led me back here. Bolton is who and what I work for. I have made some amazing friends thanks to Bolton. People are friendly and kind and helpful. We have beautiful buildings, and even more beautiful green spaces. Our accent is brilliant! :)

Lee Houghton

Our fantastic foster carers, sitters and befrienders at Bolton Shared Care... who each give a little time! But make a massive difference by supporting and enhancing the lives of children and young people with disabilities in Bolton.

Chris Loughran

Despite being new to Bolton, I have never met a bunch of people more friendly and welcoming. I love the character, sense of humour and I am proud to work in a place that is striving for a greater future for everyone.

Laura Fenton

I love Bolton because of the amazing diversity that gave us our very own homegrown poet Ibrahim Ali Ismail, whose work showcases our lives and our community.

Sham Akhtar

It has some beautiful buildings, despite many empty units below some of them. Its beautiful countryside and choice of walks and cycle paths is huge. It has always had a good amount of music venues, entertainment and nightlife, this has now dwindled in the last 20 years, I hope that this will be boosted again with the new plans.

Sarah Morgan

It's such a diverse place. Many different shops available and everybody is always smiling and with the investment into the town itself, it's massively improving and bringing people back to the great town of Bolton. The different world sports stars we have produced and the sports clubs including our beloved Bolton Wanderers FC :)

Bolton is Positive, Because It Cares, Because Bolton Includes Everyone and Never says No!
