We have hired a new team of journalists to cover Bolton and Bury to make sure we can bring you all the important stories.

New reporters recruited to the Manchester Evening News for the launch of MyBolton and MyBury (L-R) Paige Oldfield, Tom Molloy, Helena Vesty, John McDougall, Tom George, Seamus McDonnell, Amy Walker

Four of them - Seamus McDonnell, Helena Vesty, Tom George and Tom Molloy - are reporters who already have a wealth of experience covering the big stories in Bolton.

They will continue to live and work in and around the town as they report on the latest stories for MyBolton.

They are joined by Paige Oldfield, a senior reporter who is transferring to cover the area after excelling as a local reporter for the M.E.N.'s sister news website Derbyshire Live.

And our Bolton Wanderers specialist will be John McDougall, another senior and highly experienced journalist who is joining from Cheshire Live. John has covered hundreds of football matches in the Championship, League One and League Two for the Football League Paper and Sportsbeat News Agency.

They will be supported by another new recruit on the M.E.N., experienced court reporter Amy Walker, who will be covering Bolton cases as they come up in Greater Manchester's major courts.

However you follow MyBolton, you can be sure of finding unrivalled live and in-depth coverage of the local stories you care about.
