Public consultation on electric vehicle charger and double yellow lines by shops
A public consultation has been launched on the implementation of an electric vehicle (EV) charger and double yellow lines outside a row of shops. The developments would be brought in outside the strip of stores on Highfield Road in Farnworth, which includes Co-op, Premier and more. Bolton Council granted planning permission in July last year for an EV charger and its associated infrastructure such as line markings and electrical equipment. The plans would see two existing double parking bays turned into four EV charge parking bays. As part of the permission, the highways department would need to "carry out a review of Traffic Regulation Orders in the locality where necessary". The proposed yellow lines and parking bays (Image: Bolton Council) Now, a proposed traffic order has been uploaded to the council's website, outlining separate parts for the EV parking place and for double yellow lines. Read more: Raft of new double yellow lines to deal with 'anti-social parking and driving' Read more: Road could be made one way after safety concerns Read more: 'We have this serious issue of cars driven in an irresponsible way' - police respond In its reasoning, it says: "A planning application has been received and has been approved for two electric vehicle charging points outside the shops on Highfield Rd, an area which has a demand for on street parking but also has a turnover with visitors due to the varied nature of the business premises. "This proposal will introduce the associated restrictions, amending existing restrictions to accommodate the new bays. Highfield Road shops (Image: Google Maps) "To secure the expeditious, convenient and safe movement of traffic in pursuance of the Authority's duty under S.122 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984." The council says that any objections or representations should state the grounds they are made on and be sent either by email to highways@ or in writing to Highways and Engineering Division, 3rd Floor, Paderborn House, Civic Centre, Bolton BL1 1UA, no later than June 13. It asks anyone who does so to quote the reference 'TRO303992/JF/web' in all correspondence. This comes after a raft of new double yellow lines was brought in across Farnworth and Kearsley. The development comes as part of a bid to cut antisocial parking and driving. Some of the areas where restrictions were approved include around Kearsley West Nursery and Primary School in Primrose Street.

Scottish brothers on world record bid now closer to astronauts than humans on earth
Scottish brothers who are attempting a world-record-breaking row across the Pacific Ocean are now officially closer to astronauts on board the International Space Station than they are people on Earth. Ewan, Jamie and Lachlan Maclean are 40 days into their 9,000 mile journey from Lima in Peru to Sydney, Australia and are bidding to become the fastest team to row the Pacific and raise £1 million for clean water projects in Madagascar via their charity, The Maclean Foundation. Right now, they are approximately 2,700 nautical miles from Lima and the nearest inhabited land to them is Marquesas Island in French Polynesia, 1,150NM away. It means the International Space Station, which orbits around 400km above sea level, is currently closer to them than any human on Earth. The brothers are at third of the way through their journey and have reached a major milestone, day 35. That is how long it took them to complete their row of the Atlantic in 2020, which earned them three world records. 'We've officially reached the middle of nowhere,' said Ewan, a former Dyson engineer who's spent much of the trip wrestling with a broken auto helm.

And if the auto helm issues don't sort themselves, we might be out here for another 150 days. Breaking it into tiny milestones has been important psychologically. 'We knew it would be monotonous. But there have definitely been stretches that felt like a never-ending purgatory: rowing in the same beam-on conditions, day after day. 'That being said, we're incredibly lucky to be doing this, just so fortunate to have this incredible once in a lifetime opportunity. It's type two fun, but that's still fun. The messages we've received from home have kept us going through our hardest points and morale is very high right now. We're doing it.' The brothers, from Edinburgh, are doing the row on their 28-foot carbon fibre boat named after their late sister Rose Emily. They take it in shifts around the clock and are fighting 30-foot waves and temperatures above 30 degree Celcius. With no engine, no sail and no support crew, they are surviving on rehydrated meals, desalinated water and the occasional square of chocolate. 'We're not great at being uncomfortable,' said Lachlan, 26, who will celebrate his birthday on June 9. 'We're just naive enough to start and stubborn enough to finish. The brothers are attempting to row across the pacific (Image: MacLean Foundation) 'We've had dolphins surfing off the bow, whales breaching metres from the boat, and waves soaking everything just as we get dry. It's brutal, brilliant, and bizarre in equal measure. Sometimes the lows are unavoidable, but they always pass. Looking for the positives goes a long way out here. 'Would I get off the boat tomorrow if I could? Genuinely, I don't think I would. Even though it's been achingly hard, we're drawn to what lies in the uncharted waters beyond 35 days at sea.' Despite the discomfort — including salt sores, mental fog, and rowing blisters on top of blisters — they've found moments of joy. From impromptu jam sessions to tending a mini lettuce garden planted in a repurposed Tupperware box, morale remains afloat. Jamie, who is also nursing a burn from cooking on board, said: 'It's the little things. At times it's tough. Same weather. Same food. Same crap rowing. Same crap company. Terrible sleep. Then do it again. And again. And again, I've found solace inside my Tupperware box. I've always enjoyed the process of planting things. I remember being immensely proud of my carrot patch at Steiners – the fantastic and somewhat alternative school I attended for most of my childhood. 'I draw so much hope from planting seeds. The potential of what those little things can become never ceases to amaze me. Time will tell if we see any life from this odd-looking lunch box, but it's been a welcome distraction to the afternoon slump. Fishing has been another highlight and I daydream of tuna steaks and a crisp, fresh side salad.' The brothers expect to be at sea for another 70 to 80 days.
