Bolton's ambitious regeneration projects are set to be showcased on a national stage as Seddon, a local business deeply involved in the borough's transformation, prepares to represent Bolton at the UK's Real Estate Investment and Infrastructure Forum (UKREiiF) in Leeds. Utilizing the newly launched 'Brand Bolton', Seddon aims to highlight the borough's potential as a prime location for living, working, and investing. Peter Jackson, Seddon Housing Partnerships managing director, expressed pride in showcasing Bolton's achievements and future plans, emphasizing the company's commitment to the town's growth and community development.

The regeneration of Bolton is gaining momentum, with significant projects like the Bolton Institute of Medical Sciences and The Wellsprings Innovation Hub already making their mark. The upcoming demolition of Crompton Place marks a pivotal moment in the town's redevelopment, promising to deliver a mix of residential, commercial, and leisure spaces that will redefine Bolton's town center. These efforts underscore Bolton Council's dedication to creating a vibrant, well-connected urban environment that attracts new residents and businesses alike.

At UKREiiF, Bolton Council will seek development partners for two major new projects, aiming to build on the success of recent initiatives. The event presents an opportunity to showcase Bolton's evolution from a traditional market town to a dynamic urban center, with Seddon playing a key role in bringing the 'Born to Perform' message to life. The collaboration between public and private sectors is a testament to Bolton's community spirit and its strategic approach to regeneration.

As Bolton continues to transform, the focus remains on creating a sustainable and inclusive future for all its residents. The borough's participation in UKREiiF is not just about attracting investment but also about celebrating the collective achievements of its people and businesses. With projects like Crompton Place and Moor Lane set to redefine the town's landscape, Bolton is poised to become a model for urban regeneration in the UK.

US singer Chris Brown has been granted bail by a London court, allowing him to proceed with his upcoming world tour despite facing serious assault charges. The 36-year-old artist, known for hits like 'Loyal' and 'Under the Influence', was required to pay a £5 million security fee as part of his bail conditions. The charges stem from an alleged unprovoked attack on music producer Abraham Diaw in a London nightclub in 2023, where Brown is accused of using a tequila bottle to inflict grievous bodily harm.

Brown, who was not present at Southwark Crown Court for the bail hearing, has not yet entered a plea. Judge Tony Baumgartner set the bail conditions, which include surrendering his passport except for tour-related travel. The R&B star's Breezy Bowl XX tour is scheduled to begin on June 8 in the Netherlands, with stops across Europe, the United States, and Canada, including several UK cities.

The singer's release on bail comes after a brief detention in Manchester last week, marking his first return to the UK since the incident two years ago. Initially denied bail last Friday, Brown was granted conditional release on Wednesday, with the court requiring an immediate payment of £4 million and an additional £1 million within seven days. His next court appearance is set for June 20 at Southwark Crown Court.

Following his release, Brown took to Instagram to hint at his upcoming tour with a post captioned 'From the cage to the stage. Breezybowl.' The post underscores the singer's readiness to transition from his legal challenges back to the music scene, as he prepares to entertain fans worldwide amidst ongoing legal proceedings.
