Statement from Bolton Council Deputy Leader, Cllr Martyn Cox, and Bolton Council Chief Executive Tony Oakman.
We have just learned the very sad news that Bolton Council Leader, Cllr David Greenhalgh, has passed away.
David served as a local councillor in Bromley Cross for many years, becoming council leader in 2019.
He was greatly respected and had many friends both in the town hall and the wider Bolton community.
As an individual he will be greatly missed by many, and it will take some time to come to terms with our sudden loss.
Our thoughts at this time are with those closest to him.
We will be in touch with more information in the coming days.
