A HISTORIC church in Harwood is not currently up for sale.
In Wednesday’s edition of The Bolton News, an article stated that Tottington Road Methodist Church and surrounding land was being advertised for sale by Hunters estate agents.
That property advert was uploaded in error and has since been taken down.
The church building is not for sale on the open market, but Harwood Methodist Church is currently in negotiations with a prospective purchaser.
The sale of the church, which dates back to 1890, will help to fund the building of a new multi-purpose community centre in Longsight.
Harwood Methodist Church, formed in 2009 by a merger of the Tottington Road and Longsight Methodist churches, had plans for the redevelopment of the Longsight facility — which will include a worship area, café, meeting rooms and community hall — approved last year.
