AIR ambulances have been seen circling around parts of Bolton.

Red and yellow helicopters were spotted flying over parts of Astley Bridge, according to reports from residents.

An air ambulance was then spotted landing on Mount St Joseph's school field, which is close to Royal Bolton Hospital.

One resident of Belmont Road had been stuck in traffic on Blackburn Road where only one lane is said to be open.

The traffic will add to the "major disruption" already caused by roadworks in the area.

Transport for Greater Manchester said there are delays on the A666 northbound due to temporary lights on Blackburn Road at Ulleswater Street and on Halliwell Road.
