We are aware of several recent posts circulating on social media that contain false information about the Thornbank Estate in Bolton.
The claims made in these posts have understandably caused concern for some of our residents living in the area.
However, we can state categorically that the information contained in these posts is false. We would urge people not to speculate or share this information, as doing so only creates fear and has the potential to put people at risk.
We have been in contact with Greater Manchester Police and are monitoring the situation closely to help ensure the safety and wellbeing of our customers, colleagues and the wider community.
