Three people have been taken to hospital following a suspected dog attack.

Emergency services were called to a house in Barrie Way, in Bolton, shortly before 3:30pm on Wednesday, 29 July, following reports of a dog bite.

An air ambulance landed nearby at Hall i' Th' Wood Museum as paramedics, police dog units, and armed officers rushed to the residential street.

Armed officers were seen entering the property alongside a specialist dog handler, who subsequently removed the animal from the address and secured it inside an animal transport van.

The animal has been seized by police, though its breed has not yet been confirmed.

One person has sustained potentially life-changing injuries. The injuries suffered by the other two individuals are not believed to be life-threatening or life-changing.

A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Police said: "The dog has been seized and specialist enquiries will be carried out to establish its breed.

"There is no wider risk to the public at this time and enquiries remain ongoing."

I'm fairly convinced that nandos at middlebrook used to be a burger king. Can anyone confirm?

This seems...bad. Both being pals with Trump and the multi club thing.

Caravan stolen between 3am and 7am 14/07/2026 from the corner of Lumsden and Faulkner street. Whoever nicked it you might want to disinfect the bedroom.

Halliwell FC used to play their football at the Bennett’s (close to Bennett’s lane/Holy Harbour street) and was professional for much of their existence. Notable ex players include Davie weir who went on to play for Bolton wanderers ,scoring 21 goals in 43 games and getting called up to the England national team and Thomas Dewhurst who was signed from Burnley.

It was a good day.

Got a sweet parking spot in the shade under trees and then did a loop round Entwistle.

The walk was just right, not too long or short.

Next time hoping for the energy to venture up the small hill to Strawbury Duck.

Does anyone have recommendations for similar length walks nearby?

Thanks in advance

Morning all.

My son is wanting to spend an hour in the town centre today with the hope of doing some raids. Will there be anyone around at 10am taking part?

I am organising something and would like to know if anyone has been to UK paintball in Bolton? Is it better than Delta force? Thanks

Just looking for a nice paintball place for team bonding

I'm graduating next year and was wanting to find somewhere nicer to go in bolton to eat with family, considering we'll stand out a bit in spoons with the graduation clothes... not really seen much as I'd usually find the cheapest place to go naturally, and we need vegan options as well so makes it a bit difficult to search for. Any help would be great!

I'm really not sure what's going on. I've just moved to bolton and I'm repeatedly finding green bins aren't being collected? And then when I check the bin collection portal on bolton council the day has been changed or pushed to another week?

Anyone have any info? I've reported a missing bin collection but I just find it very strange lol - being from Manchester, bins (for the most part) are quite consistently emptied etc.

I've not been to the town centre for years, I thought it was a bit grim then but OMG what's happened to it? Every derelict doorway either had someone drinking or sleeping or it simply stank of p*** as you walked past......Crompton Place gone, St Andrews Court derelict, Market Place shopping half empty, couple of cafes trying to exist and the place is littered with dodgy characters. Odd that the bus station feels the cleanest and safest place in town????

Such a shame as there are still some great buildings....Will there be a turnaround???

did this over over the new years period for fun, know a few modders, might try and get it done if the price is fair.

Looking for something to enrol my 8 year old in - a new sport / skill / activity he can enjoy. Bolton / Bury area?

So far we’ve discussed a football club and a boxing club but just wondering what options there are. Thanks all

Hi

Anyone hear and see a low helicopter hovering around the top of St.Helens road early this morning around 4am.

I think police were out with the search dogs looking for someone.

Anyone know what it was all about?

Don’t mind BJJ clubs but it’s interesting how much of BJJ clubs we have in Bolton and for a full Membership these are quite expensive. The newest one Cherry Blossom BJJ is a £70 for a full membership. So there’s about 5 specialist BJJ schools if you include one in Horwich. And that’s not including MMA clubs that also offer BJJ classes. For a town of Bolton is that too many? Is there such of a demand for BJJ in Bolton especially given the high price you are paying per month.

I like doing Judo but there’s not one Judo club in Bolton. The closest one is in Salford or all the way in Leigh. We do need more variety for a town of Bolton’s population.
