Public spaces across Bury are set to shut in a bid to reduce the transmission of coronavirus. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has told pubs, restaurants, gyms and leisure centres to shut after tonight to reduce social contact.
Following the announcement, council bosses confirmed they would be temporarily shutting Castle Leisure Centre in Bury, as well as leisure centres in Ramsbottom and Radcliffe.
The borough’s three civic halls will also be closed: Ramsbottom Civic, the Longfield Suite in Prestwich, and the Elizabethan Suite in Bury.
Bury Art Museum and the Connect and Direct social care office in Bury have also now closed due to staffing issues, as has Bury Adult Learning Centre.
