Developers have broken ground on the site of a £6 million day centre in Bolton.
The Jubilee Centre will be built off Crompton Way, where the former Firwood School used to stand. It replaces the existing Jubilee Centre, in Tennyson Street, Halliwell, which currently remains open but has been deemed unsuitable for future use.
Once completed, the centre will include a therapy pool, specialised therapy rooms and a café. An artist's impression also show gardens at the site.

It has been designed by Bolton Council to provide vital support for adults with disabilities - predominately those with learning disabilities. The design for the new centre has been developed through the council’s strategic partnership with Clear Futures and will now be built by Robertson Construction. The completed hub will be operated by Bolton Cares.
Bolton Council’s executive cabinet member for adult services, Councillor Andy Morgan, said: "The new Jubilee Centre has been designed with the help of service users and their families and will meet the needs of the community both now and into the future. That same principle is also being applied to day services and day opportunities across the borough and we continue to work on plans to transform the way we care.
"We aim to make care more responsive and sustainable to ensure that service users lead fulfilling lives and remain as independent as possible for longer. I know many people are attached to the existing Jubilee Centre, but this ground-breaking project will be a fantastic community facility and we are working in partnership to ensure the move to the new building goes as smoothly as possible."
