GOODSHAW Fold and Loveclough Fold will be the focus at the latest of a series of public meetings about Rossendale's conservation areas.

The meetings aim to raise community awareness and support for the Valley's eight conservation areas.

Organiser Kathy Fishwick, from Rossendale Civic Trust, said: "We've been working on a project reappraising and looking at the future of our conservation areas for months, and decided to hold a series of meetings to discuss them with local residents, to find out how they feel about them, and get their input."

The second meeting, in a series of six, will be at Loveclough Working Men's Club, Commercial Street on April 26.

The other conservation areas are Bacup and Rawtenstall town centres, Irwell Vale, Chatterton and Strongstry, Higher Cloughfold and Whitworth Square.
