SOUTH Ribble residents have been invited to comment on a management plan for a local, nationally-recognised nature reserve.

A five-year management plan has been developed by South Ribble Borough Council and the management committee at Longton Brickcroft Local Nature Reserve, the council's award-winning facility.

The council wants as many of the reserve's users as possible to give their input into the plan, which can be viewed at the reserve's visitor centre and Longton Library until October 29.

Comments should be addressed to: Paul Walker, Parks and Leisure Services Manager, South Ribble Borough Council, Civic Centre, Paddock, Leyland.
