Kearsley, there's confusion. No one can seem to put their finger on why Covid-19 infection rates have rocketed so dramatically.

Between September 6 and 12, there were 51 new infections registered in the 'Kearsley and Stoneclough' area. Last week, seven year groups at Spindle Point Primary School were forced to self-isolate, with only year 4 children remaining in school.

Cases were also confirmed at Prestolee Primary School. While Public Health England's most recent figures show a drop off - 32 cases in the week between September 10 and 16 - the numbers are still the highest in Bolton.They appear to be a warning to other parts of the borough, which still has the highest infection rate of any area in the country.It came as a huge shock to.
