PEOPLE in Prestwich are to have their say on how to improve the area.

Prestwich Area Board is currently working on a new community plan for 2005 to 2008 and would like comments from local groups and members of the public.

A household survey conducted last year revealed that the top five issues relating to Prestwich were:

too much crime

traffic congestion

poor condition of roads and pavements

lack of facilities/activities for young people

untidy streets

The area board would welcome suggested improvements that would address the issues and any comments will be fed into the new community plan.

For more information about the community plan or area board, contact area co-ordinator, Carran O'Grady on 0161 253 7604.
