MOTORISTS have been warned to avoid sections of Tonge Old Road in Tonge Fold on Bank Holiday Monday.

Highways chiefs at Bolton Council have agreed to close a stretch of the road between Hilton Street and Hind Street so Tonge Fold Residents Fun Day can be held.

Vehicles will not be allowed to drive, wait or travel along the road until the event ends. Motorists will be diverted along Hilton Street to Bury Road, Colenso Street and Tonge Old Road.
