ALLOW me to use 'Your Views' to share my views of Bolton Council's sterling work at Heaton Fold Garden Centre, providing day care and training for adults with learning difficulties and a garden centre set to rival all competition.

I applaud our Council's partnerships between Commercial Services, Social Services, WRVS, GM Probation Service, Bolton WISE Ltd, Bolton Volunteer Bureau and Bolton Metro Grounds Maintenance, bringing together all these agencies which care for our community. As I wandered in the autumn sunshine buying winter pansies and bird seed, I was delighted to see the students in their posh new uniforms and fortunate to coincide with the applaud and cheers emanating from inside the marquee as the students received their much deserved awards.

Well done Bolton Council, that is one portion of my Council Tax I am pleased to pay.
