Town councillors upset at plans for new Horwich flats
AN approved bid to demolish a disused building and turn it into a block of flats has been criticised by a town council. Plans were passed by Bolton Council at the end of January to demolish a vacant building in Harrison Street, Horwich, and build a three storey block of flats in its place. The block would comprise 10 one-bedroom flats with one two-bedroom flat with space for nine cars to be parked. The application was submitted by Next Stage Ltd, based in Westhoughton and approved by Bolton Council on January 29. But the plans had been slammed by Horwich Town Council last October.
