The Moses Gate area of Farnworth, near Bolton, has one of the lowest life expectancy rates in the country. Babies born there are expected to live to just 75 on average. And a local mum told the Manchester Evening News: “I know it’s not an affluent area by any means, but that’s madness.”
“We’re in 2023. You don’t expect that, do you?”
The particular postcode for this area ranks alongside Oldham town centre as the lowest life expectancy age in Greater Manchester. Campaigners Health Equals have recently released the alarming data.
