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.

In a poignant new BBC documentary filmed during the final three years of his life, Ozzy Osbourne and his wife Sharon are captured planning their return to England from their longtime home in Los Angeles. 'Sharon & Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home,' set to air Thursday evening, follows the Black Sabbath legend as he prepares for what would become his final move. The documentary, originally conceived as a series called 'Home To Roost' in 2022, documents the couple's decision to relocate to the UK in 2025 after spending more than two decades in the United States.

The film reveals intimate moments between the couple at their Grade II listed Buckinghamshire property, Welders House, which Sharon describes as her 'little piece of heaven.' Ozzy, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, expresses both apprehension and anticipation about the move. In one revealing clip, he tells his daughter Kelly, 'I wouldn't say I'm excited. I'm kind of scared to back,' while acknowledging his wife's enthusiasm for their English home. 'I'm so used to being over here now but I've got to go back. I've got a house there and your mum said it's beautiful,' the rocker admits.

Tragically, Ozzy's homecoming plans were cut short when he died of heart failure on July 22, just two weeks after performing a farewell concert with his Black Sabbath bandmates at Birmingham's Villa Park. The 76-year-old rock legend was buried in the private grounds of Welders House, the very property featured in the documentary. Sharon, who had told filmmakers 'Home is where both of us are. As long as he is with me I am alright,' now finds herself living alone at the estate they had planned to share together.

The documentary captures bittersweet moments of the couple enjoying their Buckinghamshire property this summer, with Sharon expressing interest in adding more deer to the grounds while Ozzy makes plans to fish in the lake. These ordinary domestic scenes take on deeper significance in light of Ozzy's subsequent passing. The film serves as a final testament to the couple's enduring partnership and their shared vision for retirement in England, a vision that would remain unfulfilled despite their careful preparations and heartfelt declarations about their future together.
