BOLTON businesses with an interest in the environment have detailed information at their fingertips thanks to a new website from the Environment Agency.

The website http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/regions/northwest gives key facts and figures about the state of the environment in the North-west, as well as more detailed information, advice and case studies for those who need it.

Maps, graphics and at-a-glance headlines make the site simple to use and easy to navigate.

It also provides a useful tool for businesses and organisations seeking information, data or advice -- whether they are looking for general background on environmental issues, or hoping to find a more detailed understanding of a specific issue.
