INTERNET buffs can surf their way around the world wide web at a new cafe and learning centre set up in Bolton.

The facility on Board Street is housed in the modernised and refurbished Infant Section of Pikes Lane School.

It boasts an Internet Cafe, computer suites, teaching rooms, cookery facilities and a creche.

The centre will host an open day on September 14 when users will be able to enrol on one of the courses or spend time surfing the Internet.

Shaheda Bhatia, the community education service co-ordinator, said: "I am sure it will become a real focus for local adults to develop their skills, broaden their lives and improve their job prospects.

"We will also have a whole range of English courses for people to improve their spoken and written English."

Two enrolment days have also been set aside on September 5 from 10am to noon and on September 7 from 6pm to 8pm.

The centre replaces the Learning and Resources Centre in Derby Street.

Adult classes will continue in Emannuel Hall and Pikes Lane Community School.
