Health Secretary Alan Johnson has announced government plans to pump £42 million into areas which want to add fluoride to water supplies in a bid to improve people’s dental health.
Bolton children have some of worst dental health in the country, but the issue has been hotly debated in the town with opponents branding it “mass medication” and raising fears of a link between fluoride and cancer or bone problems.
The meeting will take place at 7pm at the Friends Meeting House in Silverwell Street, Bolton.
