RESIDENTS are being asked to play a part in helping to shape a new private housing repairs policy in Bury.

A meeting of the Bury Housing Forum is being held on Tuesday, November 12 (6.30pm) in the Elizabethan Suite at Bury Town Hall to discuss legislation reform.

Under the changes, local authorities have more freedom over how they give help towards improving privately owned homes. More details on 0161 253 5504.
