YOUNG people in Haslingden will be consulted on what facilities they would like in the first Youth Forum in the town.

The ideas on improving their facilities and including young people in society will be aired at St Peter's Community Centre, Hall Street, on Thursday.

The Youth Strategy Group of the Action for Haslingden organisation have invited representatives from Lancashire Youth and Community Service, Youth Works, local churches and Haslingden Community Link.

The forum will examine what provision is available for the eight to 25 age group and what more can be done to improve their quality of life.

Action for Haslingden intend to provide some funding for future activities.
