FOOTBALLERS in Breightmet are to get a new football pitch with floodlighting after getting approval from planning chiefs.
A piece of land off Waggon Road will be made into the grass pitch with ball-stop fencing by Bolton Council to improve safety for children who already play on the field.
Local councillor and planning committee member Madeline Murray has welcomed the proposal, which she says is a much needed leisure facility for the area.
