A SERIES of area forums has been arranged in a bid to involve the community in council decisions.

Rossendale Council chiefs, officers, and councillors will attend the meetings to consult with residents on recent proposals for council boundary changes drawn up by the Boundary Committee.

Residents will have the chance to quiz councillors on the impact of the proposals and ask how it will affect individuals.
