Previously part of Lancashire, this area has a population of 16,969 and benefits from regular bus services connecting residents to Bolton, Farnworth, and the Royal Bolton Hospital. This makes it a strategically positioned area for planning applications, particularly for developments aimed at improving local transport and community facilities.
