THE young people of Tottington have finally got their own place.

After four years of planning and building, the village youth club was finally opened on Friday.

Councillor Bill Johnson spearheaded a strong campaign for a place for teenagers and was at the official opening.

Funding for the £64,000 venture has come from Pilsworth Environmental Company; Greater Manchester Police Authority, Bury Council's cultural services and Ramsbottom and Tottington Area Board.

Teenagers can find out more about what the club has to offer on 01706 82 2466.
