A SERIES of feedback meetings will be held to gauge public opinion in the Rossendale Valley.

Rossendale Borough Council has arranged a series of area forums to find out what local residents, businesses, and local organisations think about living and working in the area.

Area forums give people the chance to raise questions and discuss concerns with ward and county councillors, and the police.

The first meeting will be held on Tuesday at the community centre in Edenfield. A second will be held at Rossendale United Football Club, Dark Lane, Newchurch on Monday, October 6. On Monday, October 13, the venue will switch to Tunstead Community Room, Haworth Drive, Stacksteads and the final area forum in the series will be held at Whitworth Civic Hall on Tuesday, October 20. All the meetings start at 7pm. For further details call Heather Moore on 01706 244510.
