ROSSENDALE'S community strategy is being updated to give a stronger focus on longer-term environmental and sustainability issues.

The new Sustainable Community Strategy (SCS) will have three sections - people, places and prosperity.

Each section will set out a number of aims for Rossendale and its people between now and 2020.

Rossendale Partnership is consulting with the community on the draft SCS and we would like to know if residents agree with the challenges and outcomes.

Rossendale Council is consulting from now until the Local Strategic Partnership Assembly on the September 24.
