A CHARITY fundraiser has blasted thieves whom he claims stole banners advertising a fundraising event he has organised.

Tony Bromilow has organised a wedding show, to be held at the Last Drop Inn on January 7, to raise money for Bolton Hospice.

He says he had placed banners on railings on Longsight Road and Turton Road in Harwood to advertise the event, but that they have now been stolen.

Mr Bromilow said: "I'm very disappointed because all the money I raise will be going to Bolton Hospice, and I just can't understand how anyone could do that."

Wedding dresses, cakes, menswear and flowers will all be on display at the show. Tickets are £1 and can be bought on the day. For more information call 07962226543.
