LOWER Darwen residents may get the chance to vote on plans for a Darwen Town Council.
A referendum is set to be held in September on whether to set up a separate council for the town.
A report presented to councillors said people living in Earcroft, Sudell, Sunnyhurst, Marsh House and Whitehall wards would take part.
But it was also suggested that people living in Fernhurst should get the chance to vote, as large parts of the ward used to be in Darwen.
A final decision will be made in June.
A town council is a key aim of the Lancashire Telegraph's We're Backing Darwen' campaign.
Opinion in the town on the matter was split equally in a recent council poll.
