Amir Khan's PS11.5m wedding venue in Bolton faces backlash from neighbors

Local Residents Complain of Rats and Rubbish

Amir Khan's highly-anticipated £11.5 million wedding venue in Bolton has sparked outrage among neighbors. They claim that the "Dubai-style" venue is infested with rats and surrounded by mountains of fly-tipped rubbish. The Balmayna building, which took seven years to construct, is set to open next month, but locals are already fed up with the unsightly mess it has attracted.

Residents Speak Out

Neighbours have expressed their frustration and concern about the state of the area surrounding the venue. They have reported seeing dirty mattresses, fridges, settees, wheelie bins filled with rubble, and bags of rubbish dumped behind their homes. Shopkeepers in the area have also voiced their concerns, highlighting the negative impact on their businesses.

Amir Khan's Response

According to one shopkeeper, Amir Khan has been made aware of the issue and assured them that he will address it. Bolton Council workers have been seen clearing the alleyway, although it is not their responsibility. The council agreed to help after being approached about the problem.

Hope for Improvement

Despite the current problems, some locals remain optimistic about the future of the venue. They believe that once the rubbish issue is resolved, the Balmayna will be a great addition to the area. With its grand design and promise of a unique wedding experience, residents hope it will bring more people to the neighborhood and boost local businesses.

Amir Khan's Vision

Amir Khan's glass-fronted wedding venue has been described as a "touch of magnificence" and a blend of elegance and excellence. The boxer, who splits his time between Bolton and Dubai, is excited to open this luxury venue. It is a project he co-developed with Excellency Midlands, and it aims to offer a wedding experience like no other in the UK.

Looking Ahead

Despite the current backlash, the Balmayna is set to open its doors next month. It remains to be seen how the venue will address the concerns raised by locals and whether it will truly live up to its promise of being a top-notch wedding haven.
