Horwich seems to be getting lots of HMOs. These family homes turned into 6/7 bedroom accommodations by greedy developers, most by persons not from the area. What happens when these 6/7 have vehicles? Where do they park? They say for young professionals? We’re not daft. Devs leeching of the system! 👀

The last council run public toilets in Horwich was demolished in 2012. Horwich was promised a “Super Loo” 14yrs later, nothing! Horwich Market demolished in 2009, promised new market, nothing! @boltoncouncil.bsky.social @philbrickellmp.bsky.social 22,000 people deserve better!

What’s the point of having weekend roadside bins emptied when the van driver either empties every other one or just leans over to check and drives off leaving bins half full? Money well spent! @boltoncouncil.bsky.social #Horwich

Looking like most of Horwich grey bins not emptied on Friday 2nd? Our green food caddy has not been emptied for near a month now, so had to put in grey bin, some good that was? #Horwich #BoltonCouncil www.bolton.gov.uk/rubbish-recy...

HMO gets approved! The Market Surgery will become yet another HMO. There is one already a few houses down which has just had the cellar made into another room or two? and just around the corner the old Market Chippy is an HMO? Not bothered about local concerns at all? #Horwich #HMO ift.tt/gjzXK3J

The repair has been done and backfilled! Most main drainage pipes run in a straight line? But we’ll have to wait and see eh! Hope it wasn’t a “make it look like we’re doing something” repair job? 🤷🏻‍♂️ #Horwich

Fingers crossed, but time will tell! Bolton News report not very well looked into? The repair is for flooding outside the entrance to the park on Chorley New Rd. #Horwich dlvr.it/TPg32c

Thanks Phil for your reply! The problem is that the pipe that runs under the footpath from the Vic Pub that takes all gullies down to the park, then through the park to Pearl Brook has been capped and the rest of pipe removed? But it’s good to see after many years the prob being dealt with. Thanks👍

Horwich Things🚂🎵🍺 @horwichthings.bsky.social · 29/11/2025

So it looks like the whole original pipe from where it’s been capped, to the fence at Pearl Ind estate has been removed? It would have flowed to Pearl Brook in the past, but instead, the contaminated water has flowed to ground through the blue ground drain contaminating a public park?? #Horwich

On top of the cutting was the answer to the many yrs flooding problem? A new plastic pipe attached to the old clay pipe, then capped and concreted with a metal pin in front. The blue ground drain attached to the plastic pipe is running against the flow?? #Horwich

Horwich Things🚂🎵🍺 @horwichthings.bsky.social · 29/11/2025

This one pipe takes all the gullies from The Vic Pub to the park entrance. I had a look in the cutting, then noticed that in the excavated soil that there was no sign of the original old clay pipe? #Horwich

@philbrickellmp.bsky.social Could you have a look into the flooding that happened outside your Horwich office on Sat 20th which had flood defence measures installed the other yr at a cost? Also the flooding nr the fire station which has been happening for 20 yrs +? Thanks in advance, Horwich Things.
