A FORMER Jobcentre which was given a new lease on life is now the home of a nursery.

Farnworth Jobcentre, in King Street, closed in late 2017 before being sold at auction in July 2018.

Last week, the mayor of Bolton, Cllr Hilary Fairclough, cut the ribbon to officially open Lily’s Little Gems Day Nursery.

The building also houses local business M60 Self Storage Ltd after the firm submitted a planning application to change the use of the property.

It now contains the newly opened children’s day nursery with an outdoor play area on the ground floor, as well as offices and self-store units on both floors.
