Two roads in Bolton will be closed at the start of March whilst works take place.

The back of Abernethy Street will be closed from March 7 for approximately three days whilst water repair works take place.

The road closure will prohibit all traffic from proceeding on the road for the duration of the works.

Angelo Street will also be closed for approximately three days from March 7 for water works.

The road closure will prohibit all traffic from proceeding on Angelo Street from Peak Street to Wapping Street, to allow water works to take place.

An alternate route for traffic will be via Halliwell Road.

To ensure recycling bins are emptied during the works, council officials are asking residents to present them at the nearest accessible point to ensure that they can be emptied on the usual collection days.

Council officials say they want to apologise for any inconvenience the closure may cause.
