Amazon has helped a Bolton community group celebrate the festive season in style this year.
The Over Hulton Community Group has benefitted from new Christmas lights for their shopping precinct, thanks to the local Amazon warehouse.
As well as the lights, Amazon has bought seven thousand daffodil bulbs to move along the Community Group's ambition to plant out the A6 grass verge and supplied a dozen staff on three days to assist with the planting.
They also supplied two trolleys to the litter-picking group, sent four staff down to help Marshall on the Running Group's Santa Dash and have donated £200 to St Andrew's School's recent fund-raising to purchase iPad for the school.
John Bullen, a member of the Over Hulton Community Group said: "It's certainly made for the best Christmas our community group has ever had and we owe that to Amazon.

“On top of everything else they have done for us they have bought us all new Christmas lights for our Shopping Precinct.
“Our man Dave Hammond put them up for us last week and they look absolutely fantastic.
“We just have to pinch ourselves to believe just how good they are with us - it really is a dream come true.
“In addition to the Santa's and Star Lights for the group Amazon bought seven thousand daffodil bulbs to move along the Community Group's ambition to plant out the A6 grass verge and supplied a dozen staff on three days to assist with the planting, supplied two trolleys to the litter-picking group, sent four staff down to help Marshall on the Running Group's Santa Dash and have donated £200 to St Andrew's School's recent fund-raising to purchase iPad for the school.”
