When plans to build a luxury golf resort on one of Bolton's most historic green spaces were rejected earlier this week, a sizeable number of local residents rejoiced.
In particular, campaigners from HEART (Hulton Estate Area Residents Together) have been very vocal in their opposition to the proposals since they were first mooted in 2016.
Dozens of objections were put in and after Bolton Council overwhelmingly voted the plans down on Thursday (February 24) developers Peel L&P blamed the decision on this "very localised opposition", as they referred to it.
