SPARKS could fly at the next meeting of Whitefield and Unsworth area board.

With Bonfire Night just a few weeks away, the topic at the top of the agenda is an update on fireworks controls.

There will also be a report on local policing by Inspector David Jones and an open forum session.

Residents will also get the chance to quiz representatives from First Bus and Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive.

The meeting will be held at 1pm on Tuesday, October 19 at Elms Community Centre, Green Lane, Whitefield.

For more information about the area board, contact area co-ordinator Rose De on 0161 253 7344 or 5107.
