Bolton Council staff are to move into Knowsley House in Knowsley Street.

About 120 Finance Department workers will transfer from the Town Hall on July 29. A spokesperson said the space vacated would be used for other council business.

Property specialist Jeremy Rubin & Co has let 10,600 sq ft of refurbished open-plan office space on behalf of Gordon Moon Properties.

The rental deal is worth more than £100,000 a year.

Mr Nigel Moon of Gordon Moon Properties said: "We are very pleased that Bolton Council is keen to take this quality refurbishment that we have undertaken and it shows our confidence in making a large investment in Bolton town centre."

Mr Jeremy Rubin, managing director at Jeremy Rubin & Co, said: "It has been a while since a deal of this size has taken place in Bolton and we are proud to be part of it."
