LEIGH's Streets Ahead Festival will now go ahead after securing a sponsor.

The Coalfield Challenge has come to the rescue with £10,000.

The May Dayze Streets Ahead Festival is part of the Greater Manchester Streets Ahead Festival, which will be put on the city's streets in the run-up to the Commonwealth Games, 2002.

May Dayze Streets Ahead will take place, mainly in Bradshawgate, Leigh between 12pm and 4pm on Sunday May 27.
