A row rages about where the borough belongs 50 years on from a major local government shake-up
For the eight years Chris Green has been a Conservative MP in Bolton, the borough has helped make up the Greater Manchester combined authority led by a Labour mayor.
Speaking on The Northern Agenda podcast, Mr Green said: "We are in Lancashire. The 1974 settlement never erased the character, the nature, the geography of our historic counties, those historic counties are still our actual counties. "So in terms of working with other boroughs in Greater Manchester, I'm comfortable with the administrative outlook in Greater Manchester.
As Local Democracy Reporter Chris Gee writes, a decision to rejoin Lancashire would result in major changes for the borough with a likely switch in who provides police, fire, public transport and waste management services to Bolton.
