Bolton Council serves as the local government authority for the Metropolitan Borough of Bolton, located in Greater Manchester in the North West of England. The council carries out its functions through three departments—Chief Executive’s, the Department of People, and the Department of Place—and these are overseen by the Council’s Cabinet and Executive Cabinet Members. It works with a broad mix of private, public, and voluntary sector partners through the Bolton Strategic Partnership and the Bolton Vision 2030 initiative. As a member of the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, Bolton Council operates within a wider regional framework that links it to Manchester and other surrounding towns. The council’s activities are oriented toward residents and local businesses, aiming to meet community needs and support cultural, social, and economic activity within the borough. In February 2026, the Bolton Food and Drink Festival was named Best Large Speciality Market at the NABMA Great British Market Awards 2026.
